In [[computer software]], '''strings''' is a program in [[Unix-like]] [[operating system]]s that finds and prints text [[string (computer science)|strings]] embedded in [[binary files]] such as executables. It can be used on object files and [[core dump]]s.
Strings are recognized by looking for sequences of at least 4 (by default) printable characters terminating in a NUL character (that is, [[null-terminated string]]s). Some implementations provide options for determining what is recognized as a printable character, which is useful for finding non-ASCII and wide character text.
