使用STRINGS命令从二进制文件中提取多行

Question

I am not a programmer. I know a couple of unix/linux commands (do not know awk).

I need to extract text lines that contain a specific sequence of string characters.

Here is my example:

strings -f -n30 i15app.fmb | grep -i getApplQuota

The output for this is :

i15app.fmb: v_return := stud.i36pkg.getApplQuota(:b6.igxquota,

I need to also extract a number of lines of text after this result.

For anybody that is wondering, I need to extract the lines from an Oracle forms program and do not have access to Forms Developer.

Is this possible?

try this;

strings -f -n30 i15app.fmb | grep -i getApplQuota && strings -f -n30 i15app.fmb | grep -ic getApplQuota

grep -c will print the total lines matched

Eg;

user@host$ strings -f -n30 i15app.fmb | grep -i getApplQuota && strings -f -n30 i15app.fmb | grep -ic getApplQuota
i15app.fmb: i15app.fmb: v_return := stud.i36pkg.getApplQuota(:b6.igxquota,
i15app.fmb: i15app.fmb: v_return := stud.i36pkg.getApplQuota(:b6.igxquota,
i15app.fmb: i15app.fmb: v_return := stud.i36pkg.getApplQuota(:b6.igxquota,
i15app.fmb: i15app.fmb: v_return := stud.i36pkg.getApplQuota(:b6.igxquota,
i15app.fmb: i15app.fmb: v_return := stud.i36pkg.getApplQuota(:b6.igxquota,
i15app.fmb: i15app.fmb: v_return := stud.i36pkg.getApplQuota(:b6.igxquota,
i15app.fmb: i15app.fmb: v_return := stud.i36pkg.getApplQuota(:b6.igxquota,
