As it would have it, I'm cleaning up a lot of old backups, and there's some wallet.dat files lying around, I think all of them are empty, but just to make sure, I want to check the balance of each of them. I know I can put one by one into bitcoind data directory, replacing the original wallet, but I was wondering if somebody already made a simple tool to do this ?

Ie.

Code:
./balancechecker backup/wallet.dat -d~/.bitcoin

Extracting adresses from wallet, then checking against an online service or a local copy of the block chain to find the balance of the wallet.

Anyone know of such a tools ? Tried to search the forum, but to no avail.

There are several different types of Bitcoin clients. The most secure are full nodes like Bitcoin Core, but full nodes are more resource-heavy, and they must do a lengthy initial syncing process. As a result, lightweight clients with somewhat less security are commonly used.

use pywallet. extract all the keys, compile them into one txt file, remove duplicates, and sweep them all into your main wallet.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
