This new version brings an update to the Pascal feature of strings.py, my tool to extract strings from arbitrary files.

I had to analyze compiled Lua code (compiled with Lua 5.2): Lua 5.2 byte code stores strings like C strings and Pascal strings.

The strings are terminated by a NULL byte, like C strings, and they are prefixed with a length counter, like Pascal strings. Since the length includes the NULL byte, my strings.py tool didn’t match compiled Lua 5.2 strings:

I need to subtract 1 from the counter, so that it matches the length of the string without NULL byte. This can now be done as follows:
