What would be the up to date command to run to get the contents of this file assuming i have that file and pywallet in the same folder and have a command window open from that directory already.
In that case, do not use --datadir and put ".\" before "wallet.dat";
that will tell pywallet to look for the wallet.dat file in the working directory:
Code:
python pywallet.py --dumpwallet --wallet=.\wallet.dat

Im one step closer thank you.

Now getting this error message when running that code

C:\Python27>pywallet.py --dumpwallet --wallet=.\wallet.dat
Warning: 'ecdsa' package is not installed, so you won't be able to sign/verify m
essages but everything else will work fine
(22, 'Invalid argument -- C:\\Python27\\wallet.dat: unexpected file type or form
at')
ERROR:root:Couldn't open wallet.dat/main. Try quitting Bitcoin and running this
again.

I tried to open this file with Bitcoin core before using pywallet and got a similar "data is not in recognized format" error.

Wondering if im SOL
