Update information after script is compiled

[fcjoe]

Hello,

I have a compiled script that copies files from one location to another but skips certain file types; pictures, videos, temp files, etc...

The script checks the extension of the file to determine if it should be copied or not. It works great but then I got a request to be able to update the file types that are excluded. Either adding to or removing file extensions from the list. I modified the script to read the excluded file extensions from a text file. The problem is people keep forgetting to copy that text file along with the script. This script is run on different computers everytime

I want to just have one file (the compiled script) but still give people the ability to modify the list of excluded extensions and save the modifications. So if I start the script and it currently only exlcudes .jpg files. I want to be able to add .mp3 extension to the list and when I close the script, the next time I run it both extensions will be there (.jpg and .mp3) regardless of which computer I run it from.

Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks,

Joe

Use an INI file with the provided INI functions?

Jos,

If I use an INI file they will need to remember to copy it along the compiled script. This would be the same problem that I currently have with the text file. I want to have only one file, the compiled script.

Thanks,

Look at Autoit3Wrapper sources it uses UpdateResource API function calls

but remember you can't modify EXE of current running proccess.

As Jos said use INI files.

You could create an INI with default setting when it isn't copied together with the program?

Search for the .INI file. If it doesn't exist, or is "old", download a copy from a central internet / intranet server using InetGet
