How To Read Windows.edb file?


I am wanting to create a script/software that can read/access, then query an edb database file. I am looking at the Windows Indexing file which comes in the form of an edb file. Python doesn't seem to have any modules that I could use to query the database. Do any other languages, such as C++?


Solution

  • There's a special library for accessing .edb files in C: libesedb. They have a repository on Google Code: https://code.google.com/p/libesedb/. Check out their wiki for examples: https://code.google.com/p/libesedb/wiki/libesedb.
