that’s what PYwallet is for though, right?
I’ll pile up 1.5 GB of .dat files run it and The program will do the work, skip the junk and find wallet files if present!
I’ll have to buy a bigger hard drive!!
Well technically it is going to skip over the .dat files it can't read and raise an error, but the more errors related to unreadable files are in your log the output for the real wallet.dat files are going to be buried under an avalanche of "cannot read file" kind of messages.
