That would invalidate the byte offset. The intention here isn't so much printing the data as its location on disk.

Oh yes, of course. My mistake. I did look up all the grep options used, including --byte-offset, before commenting, but somehow your point did not occur to me. Yes, the byte offsets would be meaningless after the data was piped through strings.
