Full Discussion: A string in a binary file
Operating Systems Solaris A string in a binary file Post 302763343 by zazzybob on Tuesday 29th of January 2013 11:43:32 PM

Solaris 10 may also have ggrep (i.e. GNU grep - depending on the actual Update of Solaris 10) under /usr/sfw/bin.

Code:
$ uname -rsv
SunOS 5.10 Generic_147441-01
$ cat /etc/release
                    Oracle Solaris 10 8/11 s10x_u10wos_17b X86

                            Assembled 23 August 2011
$ /usr/sfw/bin/ggrep -a -l "GNU" /usr/sfw/bin/ggrep
/usr/sfw/bin/ggrep
$ /usr/sfw/bin/ggrep -a "GNU" /usr/sfw/bin/ggrep
%s (GNU grep) %s
$ /usr/sfw/bin/ggrep "GNU" /usr/sfw/bin/ggrep
Binary file /usr/sfw/bin/ggrep matches

As you can see, you can use the -a option to treat all files as ascii text, and -l to just list the filename that matches. Leave off the -l to print the actual line that matches.

Cheers,
ZB
