XML Resource file

[StimpsoO]

Hi,

I have an AutoIt script that reads data in from an XML file. I would like to package the xml file us as part of the exe, so that it is a single file at run time. I have amended my code to use #AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add for this purpose, but I am having trouble accessing this file at run time.

My original code referenced a file in the current directory and worked just fine, the code was as follows:

#include <IE.au3>
_IEErrorHandlerRegister()
#Include <_XMLDomWrapper.au3>

$sXmlFile = ("PlacingDataPackage.xml")
$oOXml = _XMLFileOpen ($sXmlFile)
$retval = _XMLGetValue("/placingDataPackage/user/userName")
MsgBox(0, "Debug", $retval[1])

I have now ammened the code to use a resource file:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=PlacingDataPackage.xml, rt_rcdata, PDP_1

#include <IE.au3>
_IEErrorHandlerRegister()
#Include <_XMLDomWrapper.au3>
#include <resources.au3>

$sXmlFile = _ResourceGetAsString("PDP_1")
$oOXml = _XMLFileOpen ($sXmlFile)
$retval = _XMLGetValue("/placingDataPackage/user/userName")
MsgBox(0, "Debug", $retval[1])

but this fails with the following message "Subscript used with non-Array variable".

am I making some mistake in my syntax or is this not the correct way to go about what I am trying to achieve?

Any help would be appreciated.

_XMLDomWrapper library

You are using the _XMLDomWrapper library

You can load the file by the _XMLFileOpen function

The return value of the _ResourceGetAsString function

is a String Data and not a file path

To do this process you must use the _XMLLoadXML function

;===============================================================================

; Function Name: _XMLLoadXML

; Description: Creates an instance for a string of XML .

; Parameters: $strXML - The XML to load into the document

; Syntax: _XMLLoadXML($strXML)

; Return Value(s): On Success - 1

; On Failure - -1 and set @error to

; 1 - failed to create object, @Extended = MSXML reason

; 2 - no object found (MSXML required for _XML functions

;

; Author(s): Stephen Podhajecki <gehossafats@netmdc.com>,Lukasz Suleja,Tom Hohmann

;===============================================================================

Func _XMLLoadXML($strXML,$strNameSpc="", $iVer = -1, $bValOnParse = True)

Thanks Wolf,

I can now see the issue with the return type of _ResourceGetAsString /headslap

I have now re-coded as follows:

#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=PlacingDataPackage.xml, rt_rcdata, PDP_1

#include <IE.au3>
_IEErrorHandlerRegister()
#Include <_XMLDomWrapper.au3>
#include <resources.au3>

$oOXml = _XMLLoadXML(_ResourceGetAsString("PDP_1"))

MsgBox(0, "Debug", $oOXml)

The code now runs without failure, but the contents of the message box is blank. This suggests that the XML file is not getting loaded into the variable.

Full Example

First Download the ResHacker.exe program

http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/

and Download This version Of Resources UDF

Place the ResHacker program on the same folder as the AutoIt3Wrapper program

On this path

C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\SciTE\AutoIt3Wrapper\AutoIt3Wrapper.exe

Filename.xml

Place the XML file on Driver D

Why install Reshacker for this?

That isn't needed any more since v2.

Jos

[GEOSoft]

And even then it didn't have to be in the same folder as the wrapper if they used the right download location.

Jos

I do not know about the new development

Is it possible use the resource functions To update the Autoit executable File

BeginUpdateResource

UpdateResource

EndUpdateResource

Thank you

[wolf9228]

And even then it didn't have to be in the same folder as the wrapper if they used the right download location.

To be able to update the resource information of the Compiled Scripts you need to download reshacker.exe to the:

c:\Program Files\AutoIT3\SciTE\Autoit3Wrapper subdirectory to enable the resource update function of CompileAU3.

Using Autoit3 Production and (optional) Beta version together with SciTE4AutoIT3

Installation:

Download and install the latest AutoIT3 Production version from HERE

This will install AutoIt3 in c:\Program Files\AutoIT3

Download and install the latest AutoIT3 Beta version from HERE (Optional)

This Beta will be installed in c:\Program Files\AutoIT3\Beta

Download and install the latest SciTE4AutoIT3 from HERE

This will install SciTE in c:\Program Files\AutoIT3\SciTE

Select Edit for Open if you want your script to open in SciTE when you double click an AU3 file.

To be able to update the resource information of the Compiled Scripts you need to download reshacker.exe to the:

c:\Program Files\AutoIT3\SciTE\Autoit3Wrapper subdirectory to enable the resource update function of CompileAU3.

AutoIt3Wrapper will perform the following tasks for you when wrapping Aut2Exe (Compile):

Read the command line options which are supported by aut2exe.

Read any info from the Scriptname.Ini file as defaults if its available.

Read the input script searching for compiler directives. If found, it will override any other setting.

Run program(s) defined by the Run_Before directive(s).

Run Tylo's AU3Check program (Optional) to verify the script. When errors are encountered you will be prompted if you want to continue or stop the compile process.

Run Tidy (Optional) at Run and Compilation time.

Run Obfuscator (Optional) after the Obfuscated source will also be checked by AU3Check.

Run aut2exe.exe, return code reported to console.

Run RC.exe (optional) return code reported to console.

Run reshack.exe (optional) return code reported to console.

Run UPX when requested.

Run program(s) defined by the Run_After directive(s).

Not sure where you got this posted information from, but I know that the doc's aren't 100% in the current published helpfile, but the one on my SVN repo for the next release is containing the correct information.

[StimpsoO]

Hi Again, thanks for your input so far, tbh I'm getting a little confused. Do I need to use reshacker to achieve what I want to do or can I used standard Autoit functionality? I know that I need to include resources.au3 to work with resource files and the _XMLDomWrapper.au3 for the xml commands, but Jos suggested that reshacker is not required.

Try it and you know whether I am right or not

[StimpsoO]

I have tried but I can't seem to get it working without reshacker. That is not really a problem, it just seems a bit neater if I can do it without.

Taking a very simple example:

<note>
<to>Tove</to>
<from>Jani</from>
<heading>Reminder</heading>
<body>Don't forget me this weekend!</body>
</note>

and

#include <resources.au3>
#AutoIt3Wrapper_UseUpx=N
#AutoIt3Wrapper_Res_File_Add=Filename.xml,10,xml1,0
$strXML = _ResourceGetAsString("xml1",10,0)
MsgBox(0, "Debug", $strXML)

This compiles and runs but the message box is blank suggesting that the text of the xml file has not been loaded into the $strXML variable.

What does the SciTE output pane show when you compile?

[StimpsoO]

It doesn't seem to throw any errors

You need to load the full SciTE4AutoIt3 installer to make the AUtoIt3Wrapper directives work since that is part of that installer.

Ah good point, just came from work to home and only installed the basic AutoIt compiler here.

Thanks

You don't need any UDFs at all. Just use the built in directives in Scite.

Not sure where you got this posted information from, but I know that the doc's aren't 100% in the current published helpfile, but the one on my SVN repo for the next release is containing the correct information.

And I can tell you right now that back when The Wrapper was still using Resource Hacker, the wrapper was modified to read the registry for a key that gave the path to RH. That path is only in the registry if you use my installer version of Resource Hacker and the download for that is in my signature.
