correct me if I am wrong. you can open it with notepad, find the address, and the balance will be indicated there.Or enter this address and it will show the amount
search "name"
No, after opening the 'wallet.dat' file as text, search for "
name" string and an address should be next to it but there's no balance there.
e.g.:
name"18nRue6jhSHekztg5cWeqc68si1KRFMJJV :ýThen, use a blockexplorer or other wallet to check the address' balance.
But as I've noted twice, that method isn't reliable.
If syncing isn't an option, dump the wallet's keys via
dumpwallet (
for legacy) or
listdescriptors true (
for descriptor) command.
Then import those to an SPV wallet. (
method differs per wallet so create your own topic if you're going for it)
