from a list of binaries print the one that includes a specific ascii string
I have a folder with some binaries.
What I want to do is to print all the files that
include a specific ascii string.
With the following commands
strings * | grep <string>
I can check that at least, somewhere the string exists,
but how I can get the specific binary?
Thanks and happy new year!

With gnu grep (the one you find e.g. in linux):
grep -aH <string> *
If you want to suppress the ugly output and only keep the files that do match:
grep -al <string> *
