Linux's strings command for java

Question

Is there any tool like Linux's strings command for java? I want to see only strings not all printable things.

I'd argue that a Unicode String could contain all printable things. What are you looking for specifically? Non-printable characters? (How would you be able to print those?) — Makoto

Do you mean, is there a version/equivalent of Linux/Unix strings command, which can display strings from compiled Java class files? If so, please clarify the question a bit. — hyde

Quote from that:

Someone already wrote a utility that does what you want:

Did not readily find a straight out Linux tool for this, but that Question is about doing this in Python, and there's an answer for writing Python tool for the purpose, as well as bunch of linked questions.

strings is a lifesaver. But String.replaceAll() always worked with me,

keep only alphabet characters
