Recommended Posts

sooooooo i used aut2exe to build my program.. however i accidently replaced the script file with the build file so now my script has a whole bunch of

Looks like you get to start over, fresh!  You have the opportunity to make things even better.  No on will help you decompile a script, sorry, against the forum rules.

I'd suggest keeping back ups on shared drives, so you won't have this happen again...maybe email the script to yourself, so you always have that backup.

After some research i discovered what you will need to do to get it back 'decompile' which is a nono on here for obvious reasons, sucks for me since i genuinely just want MY file back but as stated, obvious reasons why this isnt allowed..  my own fault, live and learn!

Ive got an old version of the script i will have to redo the changes and as you said, chance to improve!! :)

Tidy, makes a backup of your previous script, every time you use it.

It's in the backup folder -- if you did that.

You can also add the following to the top of your script in the future. That way, should you need it, you can always get a copy of the source:

If StringInStr($cmdlineRaw, "/Extract") Then
    FileInstall("<full path to .au3 file>", @TempDir & "\Source.au3", 1)
EndIf

JLogan3o13's is a really good idea.  You can use relative paths, also (example of copying the script [named test2.au3] to c:test2.au3, when running as a compiled script

FileInstall(".\test2.au3","c:\test2.au3")

Oh, and it's a good idea to set the overwrite flag, and to modify the destination file to make sure it is read/writeable, or the copy over may not work:

$destFile = @ScriptDir & "\" & @ScriptName & "_from_compiled.au3" 
If FileExists($destFile) Then FileSetAttrib($destFile,"-R")
FileInstall(".\test2.au3",$destFile,1)

Of course this is a bad idea if you don't want other's to get your source!

Lets not bring out that dead horse again, it's been properly beaten.

Tidy is included with the Scite editor package. (: It creates a backup of your script every time you hit f5. (:

First off it won't run if you don't include the AutoIt3Wrapper directive to run Tidy when you run your script, so it won't back up your script by hitting F5 without it. Second, you're still better off putting the script inside your exe as that way you'll never lose it as long as you have the exe.

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.

you can put a wrapper (if statement) around the FileInstall, to only run if @ComputerName= "your comp name".

The script will always compile into the exe, since no autoit logic is used, but only copy out if ran from your station.

Or put password logic around the FileInstall block. There are a number of ways to do it.
