A simple, modern utility for extracting embedded XML blocks from EXE, DLL, and other container files—designed for modders, tool-builders, and anyone who needs to pull out plain-text XML with precision and style.

XML Extractor is a lightweight desktop tool that scans any file for valid raw XML files, extracts them, formats them, and saves them. It can be used for various purposes, including game modding - such as for Codemasters' 2009 title, Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising.

• Per-file output folders named after your source (dots → underscores)
• Animated, always-visible progress bar
• Overwrite prompts in a custom, on-brand dialog
• Embedded Red Hat Display Bold font for crisp headings
• Auto-scrolling log box that shows timestamps and details

XML Extractor is fully portable—no installer required. Download the latest release from Releases, unzip, and launch:

• Windows: Double-click XML Extractor.exe.
• Linux/Mac: Use WINE or Mono (mono XML\ Extractor.exe)—untested but often works.

1. Click Select File… to choose a single file, or Select Folder… to target a directory.
2. Hit Extract to begin scanning.
3. Watch the red progress bar fill, and follow detailed messages in the log.
4. Extracted XML files appear in YourFileName_ext folders, named like RootTag_01.xml, RootTag_02.xml, etc.

XML Extractor will prompt you before overwriting existing output folders.

• Extracts only valid XML
• Single-file and batch-folder modes
• Automatic BOM detection (UTF-8/16LE/16BE/32)
• Pretty-printed output with consistent indentation
• Modern UI
• Logs & progress updates
