Sorry, my mistake. Add '-a' to grep to force ASCII mode. See also -B, -A, -C for the before, after, or both context amount options. Here's the thread on my oops, less than 1 year ago. Huh, thought it was longer. http://groups.google.com/group/pantug/msg/b67213cfcad4bfa1 Grep commands (as root) I used, where my data partition on my RAID5 array is on /dev/sda2: # grep -a -A 700 'llr2tab.pl' /dev/sda2 | strings | less # grep -a -A 200 '# First, check the entire record verbatim' /dev/sda2 | strings | less ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kristian Erik Hermansen wrote: > Check out foremost. http://www.linuxjournal.com/node/1005913 Nice article.

Innate design flaws of Windows make a personal firewall, anti-virus and anti-malware software mandatory. The resulting software arms race has effectively flattened Moore's Law on hardware running Windows. ___________________________________________________________________________ Philadelphia Linux Users Group -- http://www.phillylinux.org Announcements - http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug-announce General Discussion -- http://lists.phillylinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
