[Fink-users] grep the Physical Disk

[Dan Smith]

I'm looking for a tool that will search my phsical hard drive for a 
search string, in the same way that grep searches the file system.  
Perhaps something like this tool, developed by Maresware 
<http://www.dmares.com/maresware/html/ss.htm>.  Are there any Fink or 
other open-source tools that will do this?

Here's some background: an important large text file has been 
overwritten by an empty one on my hard drive.  I know there's a good 
chance that the original data is still on the disk, if I could just 
find some way to read that data.

Thanks,
Dan Smith
