I'm trying to find a certain text string in a large number of binary
files. The 'strings' utility finds the files, the offset and the string
I'm searching for, but it doesn't print the associated filenames, like
grep does. How do I modify the expression below to show them?

find / -name "*.dll" -exec string -a -x {} ; | grep 'foo bar'
