<br>
I was working with the FILE(STRINGS filename lineList) and i discovered that i end up getting a list which has a lesser number of strings than the actual lines in the file. However this happens with only some files, i went through those but they seem to be regular files. When i count the no of new lines in the files i get the correct no of lines for the file.<br>
<br>
This has led me to believe that the FILE strings command is at fault somehow. How does it work?<br>
<br>
