Your awk script never uses a[index] for anything after declaring it. You probably want the loop condition to read i <= a[NR]

For what it's worth, I don't think the original problem description was unclear at all.

NAME
strings - find the printable strings in a object, or other binary, file SYNOPSIS
strings [ - ] [ -a ] [ -o ] [ -number ] [file ...] DESCRIPTION
Strings looks for ASCII strings in a binary file or standard input. Strings is useful for identifying random object files and many other things. A string is any sequence of 4 (the default) or more printing characters ending with a newline or a null. Unless the - flag is given, strings looks in all sections of the object files except the (__TEXT,__text) section. If no files are specified standard input is read. The options to strings(1) are: -a This option causes strings to look for strings in all sections of the object file (including the (__TEXT,__text) section. - This option causes strings to look for strings in all bytes of the files (the default for non-object files). -o Preceded each string by its offset in the file (in decimal). -number The decimal number is used as the minimum string length rather than the default of 4.
