strings -- find printable strings in a file (EXTERNAL) [v1.0]

syntax:  strings <pathname> [-L <minimum_length>] [-o] [-m]

ex:      strings thatfile
         strings ?:sys -o -l10

Searches for and displays possibly readable ASCII strings in a file
of any type.  Wildcards are allowed.

The -L option specifies the minimum number of consecutive printable
characters that qualifies as a printable string; the default is 6.
The -o option stops the offsets of the found strings from being
displayed.  The -m option allows strings to have mixed low-ASCII (bit
7 clear) and high-ASCII (bit 7 set) characters in them.
