Compilation - Resource Update: line breaks in "Extra Ressource Fields" possible?

[rudi]

Hi.

When compiling scripts, I'd like to specify an "extra ressorce field" with fixed line breakes, like

Author=R2D2\nLego Land\n89312 Günzburg\nGermany

Is this possible?

Regards, Rudi.

That's not examined by the AutoIt interpreter, so I don't think you can use things like "R2D2" & @CRLF & "Lego".

This didn't work when I tried it:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_Field=Author|PsaltyDS \n AutoIt Dude

Didn't work with @CRLF either, they just get treated as literal text.

Don't think it is supported to put an CR or LF character in the resource field. I tried it but it doesn't do anything when displaying other than showing some sort of character.

Hi.

["\n" and "@crlf" are treated as literal txt]

Yes, that's what I posted

As Jos answered, it seems not to be possible with the ressource updater.

Thanks for your reply!

I'm not sure, if I get correctly what you said:

- Did you manually enter "CRLF" to the string, you passed to the ressource updater's EXE?

That would mean, that (at least) the Ressource Updater can't handle line breaks.

- Or did you manually edit a Program's Ressources, adding "CRLF" to one of the ressource fields of that EXE?

That would mean, that it seems to be technically impossible to have line breaks in ressource fields.

Hm. I'm not sure any more, but AFAIK I've seen programs with multi line extra ressource fields, which looked like they were arranged with manually fixed line breaks.

I updated AutoIt3Wrapper Func which does the resource updates, to support \n replacing it by eitehr a @cr or @lf and tested with that.

You could try modifying your resources with reshacker and see if you can manage that way... when you get it to work then let me know what you did and I will check if that can be supported in AutoIt3Wrapper.
