sshrum Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 CRAP CRAP CRAP....using AutoIT 3.3.6.1 My backup overwrote the au3 file I was modifying and now I've lost all the coding in the au3 prior to the backup (couple hours of work that I guess I could retype). I have the latest code it the exe I made but I still need to do more work on it. Tell me there is a way to extract the au3 from the exe???!!!

water Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Tell me there is a way to extract the au3 from the exe???!!!Bad news - with version 3.3.6.1 there is no legal way.Search the forum for "decompile" in the title and you will find a lot of - locked - topics.

JohnOne Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 I'm afraid that is no longer supported or allowed in Autoit3. I guess you dont need reminding of what you should have done before this happened Unlucky.

sshrum Posted October 12, 2010 Author Posted October 12, 2010 Nvrmnd...I was able to recode the thing in like 10 minutes (blame my panic attack for the exaggerated timeframe). Hehe. However, the FAQ doesn't explain why we can no longer do the EXE2AU3 anymore. I'm just curious now.

AlmarM Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Like water said, search the forums about other decompiling topics. There are plenty of discussions.

BrewManNH Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 BTW, a good idea in the future would be to set the Tidy parameter to make backups of your script when it's run. I have it set to save 10 old copies of the scripts I write just in case I lose the original (they're usually on my thumb drive and I tend to forget them occasionally), or you write something that totally screws up what you were trying to accomplish. Everytime you run Tidy on your scripts, it will make a back up of it. It will overwrite the back ups after you have more than the number of backups you specify where #2 will overwrite #1, #3 overwrites #2 etc. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise.
