Read String Data about nptdms HOT 3 CLOSED

The tdms format documentation (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/5696/en/) says this about how strings are stored:

String type channels are preprocessed for fast random access. All strings are concatenated to a contiguous piece of memory. The offset of the first character of each string in this contiguous piece of memory is stored to an array of unsigned 32-bit integers. This array of offset values is stored first, followed by the concatenated string values. This layout allows client applications to access any string value from anywhere in the file by repositioning the file pointer a maximum of three times and without reading any data that is not needed by the client.

I don't have time to implement this at the moment but can help if you want to have a go.

It wasn't too much trouble to add this so I found some time to do it, hopefully it works for you.
