Making something like compiler


Recommended Posts

:bye: Hello everybody. Yesterday I decided to work on my own CD/DVD AutoPlay program (written in C++). Now, I want to 'combine' the configuration file with the main program (just like the Aut2Exe Compiler combines the .bin file and .au3 script, there are other examples like 7-zip's SFX modules etc.). I have a little bit knowledge that the combination is done by something like:

copy /b mybin.bin+myscript.au3 myexe.exe

Could anyone please provide some guidelines, tips, references etc. to get me started in this direction?

Regards,

MKISH

Not sure how it's done, but all that command will do is corrupt the file by concatenating the 2 together into the myexe.exe file.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

I hereby grant any person the right to use any code I post, that I am the original author of, on the autoitscript.com forums, unless I've specifically stated otherwise in the code or the thread post. If you do use my code all I ask, as a courtesy, is to make note of where you got it from.

BrewManNH, this command indeed works for 7-Zip's SFX Modules. I created a SFX using this command with .sfx file. Try it.

that will not corrupt the exe- that's a technique known as EOF (end of file) data.

1. get a file handle to your exe.

2. write to the end a header string.

3. write your data.

to read it:

1. the executable opens a READ ONLY handle to itself.

2.scans ahead till it finds header string.

3. reads in data

4. ?????

5. PROFIT!!!!!!!

:oops: These technical terms get over my head sometimes... anyways, a hundred thnx to Richard (for the correction) and twitchyliquid64 (for this cool trick).

:graduated: Proves the concept that I still have a lot to learn...
