Not (AFAIK) built in, but there is one available from SysInternals (live link). The SysInternals strings isn't a straight port of the Unix tool; it was written to find Unicode strings as well as ASCII:

What actually happens is more For a GUI-oriented alternative try 'Extract Text' in this utility collection by Juan M. Aguirregabiria. Quick and easy to use with persistent customization of which characters to match as strings. Probably doesn't support Unicode though.
Working on NT and Win2K means that executables and object files willmany times have embedded UNICODE strings that you cannot easily see witha standard ASCII strings or grep programs. So we decided to roll ourown. Strings just scans the file you pass it for UNICODE (or ASCII)strings of a default length of 3 or more UNICODE (or ASCII) characters.Note that it works under Windows 95 as well.
Windows natively supports Unicode strings for UI elements, file names, and so forth. Unicode is the preferred character encoding, because it supports all character sets and languages. Windows represents Unicode characters using UTF-16 encoding, in which each character is encoded as one or two 16-bit values. UTF-16 characters are called wide characters, to distinguish them from 8-bit ANSI characters. The Visual C++ compiler supports the built-in data type wchar_t for wide characters. The header file WinNT.h also defines the following typedef.
When Microsoft introduced Unicode support to Windows, it eased the transition by providing two parallel sets of APIs, one for ANSI strings and the other for Unicode strings. For example, there are two functions to set the text of a window's title bar:
New applications should always call the Unicode versions. Many world languages require Unicode. If you use ANSI strings, it will be impossible to localize your application. The ANSI versions are also less efficient, because the operating system must convert the ANSI strings to Unicode at run time. Depending on your preference, you can call the Unicode functions explicitly, such as SetWindowTextW, or use the macros. The example code on MSDN typically calls the macros, but the two forms are exactly equivalent. Most newer APIs in Windows have just a Unicode version, with no corresponding ANSI version.
Back when applications needed to support both Windows NT as well as Windows 95, Windows 98, and Windows Me, it was useful to compile the same code for either ANSI or Unicode strings, depending on the target platform. To this end, the Windows SDK provides macros that map strings to Unicode or ANSI, depending on the platform.
If you run strings on a .jpg and it includes: 'This program cannot be run in DOS mode' that indicates, it is an executable, not a JPEG. Malware authors often disguise portable executables that end in .gif/.jpg/etc to evade human checks. [source]
I am building a Windows dialog box that has the standard 'OK' and 'Cancel' buttons. Given that Windows uses the same button text in its own dialogs is there a way for me to grab the correct strings to use on the buttons?
This way my application will have the correct strings no matter which language is being used, without me needing to localize it for lots of different languages myself. I am using C# but can happily use platform invoke to access an OS method if needed.
NOTE: Yes, I can easily localize the resources but I do not want to find and have to enter the zillion different language strings when it must be present within windows already. Please do not answer by saying localize the app!
However, your ultimate downfall on this plan is Vista/Win7 Ultimate with MUI language packs. Which allows the user to switch between languages without updating the resource strings in the DLLs. Such an edition will always have English strings.
No, there is no standard, supported way to do this. Yes, Windows does store these strings and it's (with some effort) possible to obtain them, but there is no guarantee that they'll remain in the same location and under the same identifier from version to version.
The System.String .NET Framework class (which is documented on MSDN) has four Trim methods that enable me to easily cleanup strings by removing unwanted characters and white space. The following table lists these methods.
Hanging cords, strings or ribbons in front of your windows can be effective and unobtrusive, even pleasant. Make them yourself or order a product like Acopian BirdSaversTM which are custom-made based on the size of your window(s).
Another ingenious invention along these lines is called The Bird Crash Preventer!TM and uses a series of monofilament line to create an effective, yet invisible warning system to keep birds from hitting windows.
Compares two text strings and returns TRUE if they are exactly the same, FALSE otherwise. EXACT is case-sensitive but ignores formatting differences. Use EXACT to test text being entered into a document.
For windows users, if you use (Shift + right-click) on any files in the file explorer or the desktop.
You will get a new entry in the right-click menu witch is call copy as path click on it to get the full path in the press-paper.copyaspath613510 79.8 KB
The information I am copying is table, with some strings and some floats. In the end what I need to do is write down =sum() and it should add everything in the column. However i noticed that in the WEB page floats decimal symbol is dot (".") and in the excel I need it to be comma (","). That causes me an issue with formulas, because formulas think that i try to sum up a strings not floats. So return value always end up 0. The image below is an example:
...without having to drop to binary editing mode to do it. Windows' own Registry Editor removes empty strings. Same story with RegCool and Registry Workshop. Is there a tool out there that would preserve whatever I type in the editing field when working with REG_MULTI_SZ values?
I found another two editors that handle those values correctly: O&O RegEditor and Advanced Regedit. The latter doesn't show 64-bit specific parts of registry and is non-Unicode application, so some parts of registry are inaccessible on 64-bit Windows and there might be trouble reading/setting certain values. Its editing window for REG_MULTI_SZ values is more interesting though, it allows to easily reorder strings.
I did a quick search for 'windows explorer search markdown files' which led me to a Super User thread that said I'd have to install a Markdown Preview to do it. And the answers didn't sound promising:
My flow diagram is super long in order to execute everything I need, so I wont post a picture for your sake. However, I do have a variable that keeps track of the current position (ideally would get updated to the index after each comma/semi-colon), a variable holding the index of the comma/semi-colon, and variables holding the substrings.
