Morthawt Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 If I want to open up a .exe file and perform alterations or convert its content from one thing to another (example like string to binary etc) What kind of data type would an exe file be? That way I know what xxxxtoxxxx command I could use to convert its contents from what ever type of data it is into something else. etc. I am trying to get to grips with as much as possible so that I know how to do things.

Morthawt Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 I always thought binary was what exe files was, all gobeldygook but when I look at what binary data is in Autoit its more like hexidecimal with a 0x preceding it. So given that fact, if I convert the exe contents to another data type, what do I do to convert it back to its original "exe'ness" ?

Morthawt Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Never mind, I figured it out. Treat the original as a string and use _stringtohex and _hextostring. Amazing. The wonders this thing can do never cease to amaze me. Free and easy Autoit scripting video tutorials (plus more videos always coming!)
