I'm looking for something that does what the unix "strings" program does, but in Windows. And visual, too.

Occasionally, I have a binary file and want to see if certain strings are present in it. Right now, I use notepad, and turn on wordwrap, and just ignore all the garbage and visually search for strings.

Anyone have anything neat they use? (Preferably free or cheap.)

not sure about the visual part but there you go:

there is also "Process Explorer" where we can see the strings of a process.
