ADPX Conversion Tester

Extracts printable strings from .adpx binary files, similar to the Unix strings utility. Since .adpx is a custom binary format, this scans for runs of printable ASCII and UTF-16LE characters rather than parsing a specific structure.

Install

npm install

CLI usage

node bin/cli.js path/to/file.adpx
node bin/cli.js path/to/file.adpx --json
node bin/cli.js path/to/file.adpx --offsets --min-length=6 --encoding=ascii

Or, after npm link:

adpx-strings path/to/file.adpx

Options:

• --min-length=<n> minimum run length to report (default: 4)
• --encoding=<ascii|utf16le|both> which encodings to scan for (default: both)
• --json output as a JSON array ({ offset, length, encoding, text })
• --offsets include byte offset/encoding in plain-text output

Programmatic usage

const { parseAdpxFile, extractStrings } = require('adpx-string-extractor');

// from a file path
const strings = parseAdpxFile('path/to/file.adpx', { minLength: 4 });
// strings: [{ offset, length, encoding, text }, ...]

// from an existing Buffer
const list = extractStrings(buffer, { minLength: 4, encoding: 'both' });
const justText = list.map((s) => s.text);
