Macro for compiled console?

[Klaatu]

In my script I would like to test to see if it was compiled using the console switch. Looking through help I see I can test whether or not the script is compiled, but I don't see a way to test for console compilation. Hopefully I'm just overlooking something obvious.

So it there such a macro like @compiledConsole?

#include <WinAPI.au3>

If CompiledConsole(@ScriptFullPath) Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "console!")
EndIf
Func CompiledConsole($sfile)
    Local $hFile, $nBytes, $tBuffer
    $tBuffer = DllStructCreate("byte[1]")
    $hFile = _WinAPI_CreateFile($sFile, 2, 2)
    _WinAPI_SetFilePointer($hFile, 1000)
    _WinAPI_ReadFile($hFile, DllStructGetPtr($tBuffer), 1, $nBytes)
    _WinAPI_CloseHandle($hFile)
    If(DllStructGetData($tBuffer, 1)) = 0xD4 Then
        Return True
    Else
        Return False
    EndIf
EndFunc

- May check itself or other exe's, BUT only if script was compiled with UPX(compression level doesn't matter)

Thanks GS. I never would have figured that out on my own.

I'm a bit surprised there's not a built-in macro for this, however, as there's macros for almost everything else it seems.

Did you already have that bit of code laying around in your toolbox, just waiting for someone to ask?

- No. I spent for this ~ 6 minutes:)

Knowing very little about APIs and DLLs and such, I have a few questions about the method you use to determine whether an app is compiled as console.

How "resilient", so to speak, is this code to changes in AutoIt itself? Will this have to be modified with new releases of AutoIt? Or is it more dependent on upx, and as long as it doesn't change you'll always be looking for a D4 at offset 1000?

Just curious to know when this method may "break". Thanks.

- Ha:), I don't know, what it means, just found first difference between "Console" and "Not Console" type of Script.exe

- To avoid error( that theoretically possible) you need also check if file is AutoitScript.exe(last bytes) and Compilled with UPX (few bytes before D4, see in HEX Editor for more understanding )

Best regards.

OK. Thanks GS. Appreciate the reply. Have a good day.
