I’ve released a small little utility for Windows today called TxtFromBin.

TxtFromBin allows you to grab all of the printable, readable ASCII characters from any binary file (be it an EXE, ISO, Tarball, etc.) and save them to a text file for later reading or processing.  TxtFromBin is ideal for data forensics, debugging, etc.

Download TxtFromBin Version 1.0.0

It’s free to use, just remember it comes with no warranty of any kind.  Any up-to-date Windows XP or Vista machine should be able to run it without issue, but if not, you will need to download the Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.
