"Strings script" ??
'strings' is a unix utility for extracting strings (or string-like) blocks
from any file. It uses various pattern matching rules to determine what
might be a string and as Michael says, it can be enlightening (or
frightening, depending on your point of view).
Typically the output will include some junk as mismatched strings, and some
of it won't make any sense but there's often some useful data, too.
To use it, open a terminal window and type:
strings /path/to/file
The file can be any file, including binary or application files, e.g.
strings /System/Library/CoreServices/Finder.app/Contents/MacOS/Finder
