Search files with hex zeroed content

[Buny]

Hi

I want to search files with no data inside (all file content is with 00 bytes).
The problem is in the line of "fined text" there is a character limit (A fairly short number of letters is possible) as a result there are many normal files in the results that have some zeros in them.
If in the search bar it was possible to write A lot more zeros so it would give a more accurate result,only really bad files that have all or most of the file with zeroes will be displayed.
Is it possible to do?

Thanks

There's a plugin that does exactly what is requested: it finds the files with zeroed data (files filled with 0x00 bytes).
How it works:
- Install the plugin as usual;
- In the Search dialog go to the Plugins tab, select the plugin in the dropdown list, and check the Search in Plugins checkbox;
- That's it.

NB plugin won't find files with at least one non-zero byte.

Since the original plugin's archive doesn't include pluginst.inf I've created one for you:
pluginst.inf:
(make such a file in your text editor with the following content, and place it in the archive next to the plugin files [FindZeroFiles.wdx, FindZeroFiles.wdx64], to grant the plugin installation upon entering the archive in the Total Commander)

Code: Select all

[plugininstall]
description=FindZeroFiles finds files with zeroed content (filled with 0x00 bytes) via Total Commander Search dialog.
type=wdx
file=FindZeroFiles.wdx
defaultdir=FindZeroFiles

No worries.

Here it is:

Code: Select all

FindZeroFiles.wdx    2011-06-01 10:55:22 299520 bytes (292.5 kB) md5: ca3f0aa345af01b3923dcd383e29ae99

The .wdx* are the original ones. The .inf I made myself somewhere in a past life.

Thank you for the support. We definitely shall overcome.

@ beb : you have no idea, how happy you just made me ... Thanks a million!

I had searched for this plugin everywhere (web search, internet archives, file sharing, etc.) without any success ...
How were you able to find it ?
