Will this search through All types of folders and files? being compressed, zip, and BKF backup files too?
No... any form of compression will modify the actual structure of the underlying data... it has to, otherwise the data can't get "smaller". This will mean that the script will be unable to detect the wallets by inspecting the bytes for the indicators of a wallet file.It's the same reason why you can't use the "hex string search" method on zip files etc... the data will have changed, and you can't really know how it will have changed... so the "standard" markers you're looking for won't be found...
The only way to do it would be to uncompress the files and then inspect the extracted files... which could be problematic if the archives are encrypted/password protected... and you don't have the password.
OH crap
!!!No wonder I can't find any wallets
will have a long way to find good quality programs to decompress and decipher/make backup files readable to PYwallet then.I was using windows search looking for .dat files on a 500 GB drive yesterday and it said it needs 1.4TB disk space
do u know off any software that decompress many large backup files as: .pbd, .bkf… to a drive, I found one but it creates a tree and I have to go through every file separately to choose one file and restore
