CreateFilesEmbedded.au3 - Like FileInstall...

[JScript]

CreateFilesEmbedded.exe

Application to embed files into their programs in the format .AU3

---

I present a different format to add files in your script:

So how about having our files (photos, text, executables) built?

1 - We can use the binary variables with

2 - We can test the fully functional program with F5 SciTE

4 - Use your imagination!!!

Sintax / Examples:

#include "YourFileEmbedded.au3"

; Returning the code in binary format
$bData = _YourFileEmbedded()

; Saving the code in the HDD
_YourFileEmbedded( True, @ScriptDir)

; Saving and running the code
_YourFileEmbedded( True, @ScriptDir, True)

; Finally, running the code directly
Run(_YourFileEmbedded(True))

Well, Portuguese is a lot like my native language, I was surprised when I actually understood everything in that language, I didn't know it was so similar to Spanish.

Muchas gracias!

¡Tienes razón! És muy parecida...

Thank you very much!

You're right! Is very similar

muchas? zomg i love muchas! corn chips, salsa, melted cheese, tomato...what more could you want in a food?

Funny, but the topic is about scripts, not food!

[SandelPerieanu]

i tested with the same file

With FileInstall - 3.87 Mb

With CreateFilesEmbedded.au3 - 6.70 Mb (- LZNT level 2)

for me it's not ok.

thanks.

[JScript]

@SandelPerieanu

Very strange, see this example:

Download: Test_(Embedded&FileInstall).zip

Test_(Embedded).au3

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Compression=4           ;Compression parameter 0-4  0=Low 2=normal 4=High. Default=2
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseUpx=y                ;(Y/N) Compress output program.  Default=Y
 
#include "Zune.au3" ; 970KB, LZNT level 2
 
_Zune(True, @TempDir)

Test_(Embedded).exe = 978KB

Test_(FileInstall).au3

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Compression=4           ;Compression parameter 0-4  0=Low 2=normal 4=High. Default=2
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseUpx=y                ;(Y/N) Compress output program.  Default=Y
 
FileInstall(".Zune.msstyles", @TempDir) ; 12.028KB

Test_(FileInstall).exe = 1.736KB

Conclusion: Who is smaller?

Conclusion: Who is smaller?

it depends on how "compress able" a file is.

AutoIt uses a very week compression for script and fileinstall, but it stores it better.

Your function compresses much better, but stores not efficient (Hex values not binary)

Anyway thank you very much for this script.

[JScript]

@JFX

You're right! I'll see what I can do to improve it...

Do you have any idea? I was thinking of store in resource...

João Calos.

Edited September 14, 2011 by jscript

[JFX]

hmm, store in resource would be a very good solution for complied scripts.

for not complied it could be Base64 encoded, like in some other script (ex. AutoitObject)

[JScript]

Base64 encoded?!?! It's better than in Hex format?

Could you give me an example?

João Carlos.

Excellent observation.

[JFX]

@jscript

Yes Base64 is a better choice then Hex format. It just need 4 Bytes to save 3 Bytes binary data

See here or

@trancexx

Thanks. It's a pleasure to read such excellent scripts

[JScript]

@JFX,

OK, you have convinced me, updated code!

I wanted to try this out, but wasnt sure about what the options and text was saying. I saw that you needed some translation, so I played around with the translate in Google. I copied your text into a language file and created a select based on your OSLang return value. I only did the original Portuguese and the additional English (You may want to do it a different way). Anyway, I modified the original file slightly to use all the variables that are setup in the language file.

Now I can check it out and see if it work for me

Many thanks guy! I'm doing a new version, then I'll include multilanguage support...

João Carlos.

[RugWarrior]

Great UDF!

Can't wait for the new version

[RugWarrior]

Hi, I played around with the translation file as you will not get something on the screen to read if your system has another language set (like german).

Hopefully I will have same spare time during the next couple of days I will translate it to german also.

Hi @Belini

I'm doing a few more changes and then post here and in the Brazilian forum, thank you very much!
