Embed Full Compressed Directorys in Script using LZF and Base64

[Beege]

This is a small UDF I put together just for fun that will embed and extract complete directory's in and from your script. It only has two functions, _EmbeddedDirectory_Create() and _EmbeddedDirectory_Extract(). The udf uses Wards machine code functions so they have pretty good speed. The example I set up packs all files located in Autoit Include directory. Both compression and decompression of the directory was less than 500ms on my pc which I was happy with. Let me if you have any problems or questions. Thanks

 

Example:

 

#include "EmbedDir.au3"

;Check location of autoit includes
Global $sIncludeDir = 'C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\Include\'
If Not FileExists($sIncludeDir) Then $sIncludeDir = 'C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\Include\'
If Not FileExists($sIncludeDir) Then Exit (MsgBox(0, 'Directory Not Found', 'Unable to locate Includes Directory'))

;Create embedded directory function
Global $sCompressed_Includes = _EmbeddedDirectory_Create($sIncludeDir, '_Extract_Includes')
Global $iTime = (@extended / 1000) & ' ms'

;create example file and write extract function to it
Global $hExtractExample = FileOpen(@ScriptDir & 'Extract_Example.au3', 2)
FileWrite($hExtractExample, '#include "EmbedDir.au3"' & @LF & @LF & _
  '$sExt = _Extract_Includes()' & @LF & _
  '_EmbeddedDirectory_Extract($sExt, @ScriptDir & "AutoIt_Extracted")' & @LF & _
  'ConsoleWrite("Extract Time = " & @extended/1000 & "ms" & @LF)' & @LF & @LF & _
  $sCompressed_Includes)
FileClose($hExtractExample)

;Show stats of the directory we just embeded
$aSize = DirGetSize($sIncludeDir,1)
If IsArray($aSize) Then
    Msgbox(0,"Directory Details", _
  "Size = " & Int($aSize[0]/1024) & 'KB' & @LF & _
        "Files = " & $aSize[1] & @LF & _
  "Dirs = " & $aSize[2] & @LF & _
  "Compression time = " & $iTime & @LF & @LF & _
  "Open Extract_Example.au3 to extract")
EndIf

Nice UDF and Example.

Hey quick question if you don't mind..  Does a second script have to be generated to obtain the directory that was embedded in the initial script?  Can it all be done from within one single script?  Thanks in advance.
