One of the most enjoyable things to do with the unix strings command is to look at microsoft word files that people send you. Often, there is more than meets the eye, and strings reveals content that the sender sometimes things is no longer there, and can be quite embarrassing. Whenever someone sends me a word document as an attachment, I run strings on it, and about 20% of the time I find some hidden text and quote it and email it back.

I wonder what percentage of Mac users are familiar with Terminal. I see so many comments of "so what, it's just a wrapper for an app you can use in terminal". Maybe we should remove the Mac GUI entirely since we can do it all in Terminal?

What's the point of this? It's just as easy to use strings in the terminal.

And I'm mildly surprised. You should have put some interesting string constants into Aquastrings for those of us poking at the Aquastrings application itself! :P
