Opera Kludge

[MilesAhead]

I really like to use the Opera Wand for filling in forms buying stuff online. I was kind of disappointed that after all this time they still leave the [Personal Info] section in opera6.ini (that contains the stuff you typed into Wand) in clear text!!

I wasn't able to find any free substitute so I scripted a kludge that at least lets you have your opera6.ini [Personal Info] section encrypted when Opera isn't running.

The idea is to fill in the Wand info and close opera so that opera6.ini has the info stored in the clear. Set the variables in EncryptWand and RunOperaWand scripts so that they match. Run EncryptWand to encrypt the .ini file section. Now RunOperaWand can be used whenever you want to launch Opera and use the Wand Form Fill Tool. RunOperaWand

reads the encrypted section, decrypts it and writes it back. Then it launches Opera and waits. On Opera close it encrypts the [Personal Info] section again. All done using _StringEncrypt() IniReadSection() and IniWriteSection().

Like I said, a kludge.

 EncryptWand - Encrypts the [Personal Info] section of opera6.ini 
 
 1)Run Opera and fill in the Wand Personal Info then close Opera
 2)point the $operaIniFileName variable to point to the opera6.ini 
   with the information you just filled in. Change "PassWord" below
   to what you want to use as your password.
 3)Run the script
 
 Now you can use the RunOperaWand.au3 script to run Opera after setting
its variables to match those in this script. 
 
#ce ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

; Script Start - Add your code below here
#include <File.au3>
#include <String.au3>

;set this to point to Opera .ini file
$operaIniFileName="C:\Program Files\Opera926\profile\opera6.ini"
_Set_Wand_Info(1,$operaIniFileName,"PassWord")

Func _Set_Wand_Info($encrypt,$operaIniFile,$passWord)
$s=""
Dim $sectionInfo = IniReadSection($operaIniFile,"Personal Info")
For $i = 1 to $sectionInfo[0][0] 
    $s = _StringEncrypt($encrypt,$sectionInfo[$i][1],$passWord)
    $sectionInfo[$i][1] = $s
Next
IniWriteSection($operaIniFileName,"Personal Info",$sectionInfo)
EndFunc

 RunOperaWand: RunOperaWand reads the opera6.ini file [Personal Info] section
 that was encrypted with EncryptWand.au3 script.  It decrypts it, and writes
 it back to opera6.ini.  It then runs Opera so you can use the Wand Form Fill
 Tool.  Once you exit Opera, it reencrypts the [Personal Info] section so 
 that your Personal Info isn't just sitting on disk in opera6.ini in clear
 text.
    
1)Set the variables $operaIniFileName to point to the opera6.ini file Opera
is using.  

2)Set $operaExeName variable to point to the corresponding opera.exe 
3)Set $pw to the password you used in EncryptWand.au3 script.
4)Run this script to execute Opera.

Suggestion:  Use AutoIt3 "Compile Script" once you have set and tested all
your variables to compile this script to an .exe file.

If Not _Set_Wand_Info(0,$operaIniFileName,$pw) Then
    MsgBox(0,"RunOperaWand","Decrypting Opera Ini File Failed")
    Exit
EndIf
$val = ShellExecuteWait($operaExeFileName)
If Not _Set_Wand_Info(1,$operaIniFileName,$pw) Then

    $sectionInfo[$i][1] = $s
Next
return IniWriteSection($operaIniFileName,"Personal Info",$sectionInfo)

I broke the .ini file section encryption bit out into something more generally useful: _CryptIniSection()

Hi,

Nice idea.

For the "files path get" part you can use Opera Library. Like this:

#include-once
#include <File.au3>
#include <String.au3>
#include "Opera_Library.au3"

....

$Opera6Ini_Path = _OperaGetProfileDir() & "\opera6.ini"
$OperaExe_Path = _OperaGetDir() & "\opera.exe"

....

Thanks for the modification. Saves hard-wiring or using param in a shortcut.

Very cool.

Hi @milesahead can you please share opera_library.au3 . I am automating opera in autoit this will be great help  Thanks in Advance
