I am hoping to get the contents of the .text section, of a Microsoft PE file using a linux command. When I use
objdump -sj .text filename.exe
the output consists of the offset, in hexadecimal format, on the far left, followed by the content, in hexadecimal format, in the middle and a mixture of dots and ASCII characters on the right. I don't know if the dots represent unprintable characters. A screen shot follows. 
Is there a way to adjust the format of the output? Ideally, I am hoping to get the printable strings without the hexadecimal numbers. I have looked through the objdump man page but could not see a way to do this.
