How to Use the Strings Utility   264 

Use the Strings utility to print ASCII strings embedded in binary files. 

To run Strings from the Support Tools Dashboard: 

1.  Use the System Select screen to select the system you want to work with. 

2.  From the Dashboard menu, select Cisco Common Tools > Strings. 

3.  In the Arguments field, enter desired arguments, as described in the Using 

section below. 
Note: When entering arguments, the strings command is already implied. Do 
not enter it in the Arguments field. 

4.  Specify the command duration time or accept the default (60 seconds). This is 

the amount of time the command will attempt to run before terminating.  

5.  If desired, check Elevate Command Priority. This ensures the command will run 

regardless of the level of server activity. 

6.  Click the Run button. 

Strings displays printable ASCII strings in the binary files specified on the command 

line. If no files are given, it displays printable ASCII strings in the standard input.
