I scanned it and it was absolutely no dice

I really appreciate you writing this program for us.
You have no idea how much closure you've brought me.
Thank You!

Hi Brian
You should consider the following
1) If you believe the file was inside a .rar or .zip , then collect all of them and unpack them (even though the file name is not wallet.dat) the info inside the file would be not compressed when scanning.
3) Make an image of your entire drive (that would also include deleted files), call it yourdatadump
3) search for the following string 'name"' , i'ts an old trick to find addys inside bitcoin wallets (work even with encrypted wallets), then a 34 character address
would follow after this string, this is mostly for receiving addys.
4) Try this command to find any possible BTC addys starting with 1; (this is for linux/ubuntu)
cat yourdatadump | grep -o -w '1[123456789abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ]\{33,33\}'
5) If you believe you did write down the private key, you can search for this string
cat yourdatadump | grep -o -w '5[123456789abcdefghijkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHJKLMNPQRSTUVWXYZ]\{50,50\}'
which is find all strings starting with 5, followed by 50 base58 characters
Good luck
