One of the most important command line utilities that every Linux user should know is Grep. Grep searches one or more input files for lines containing a match to a specified pattern. By default, Grep outputs the matching lines but it has a ton of flags and options available. ERRATA: I mentioned that Grep doesn't like binaries. That's not entirely true. There is a way to grep a binary as if it were a text file by using the "-a" flag. One thing to note though is many binaries are just one gigantic line so a lot of the time, all you are going to get is the equivalent of a "cat binary-file".
