Hi all,

I processed an SD card image with X-ways. I found lots of whatsapp messages in free space. I would like to extract all text passages in this 4 GB file. 

Xways has a tool to find text passages, but one by one. I want export all of them to a file.

How can achieve this?

Regards

Can you used regular expressions?
