mexykanu Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Hello, I've written a script in May, didn't touch it for some months then i tried to open it today. The code now looks like this: http://www.filedropper.com/program_1 I've also attached the file here What happened to my file ? It seems to be encrypted or corrupt. The first lines look like this: ·úv #À V‚ In Ûv …} x®€Š ‚ K‚ X:ø ¸ WNˆ BÀ ØAä…jÓ{U y9 ‡¸ BÀ ð‘z…$§7 € ‘´ F` @¾Š‡ßñ}¹ ÌQ ª½ BÀ P8‡…Ý~„ |G è-ˆ BÀ X`¸…1• x À V€ Má ã4 h±À V€ ‘’ À: À V€ :< { È`À V€ ð¯ C Á´ °P I don't know if it matters, but: I've written it while using windows 7 32-bit and now i have windows 7 64-bit. All of my other scripts look normally. I'm now using the 32-bit version of Autoit but that doesn't really matter since the script is just a text file. Could you please help me with some advice ? Thank you. Edited August 14, 2014 by mexykanu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
November Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Hi there, You can compile again the original code! Where is the original code, the au3 file? Do you still got it with you?

mexykanu Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Hello, This file has 9 KB and has the .au3 extension. I'm pretty sure it isn't compiled. I've attached it here as well. Thank you. program.au3 Edited August 14, 2014 by mexykanu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Well whatever it is, it is not an autoit script. Perhaps it once was, but it is not now, and what happened to it only you can answer, since it's your script. Maybe it's had an extension renamed from a3x What did the script do?

mexykanu Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 This totally sucks. The script used ie.au3 to get some data out of my webpage then used _filewritefromarray to write it to a text file. I can't possibly understand what is going on.

JohnOne Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 When you use sctie4autoit a backup of the au3 is usually created.

mexykanu Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 It has never created a backup for me. Could you please tell me where i can find this option ? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Don't know sorry. As far as I'm aware it is enabled by default, you would have to turn it off, if you can for it not to make a backup. For the record, what version of AutoIt and scite are you using and what version was this script created in.

mexykanu Posted August 14, 2014 Author Share Posted August 14, 2014 I'm always using the latest version. This script was created in May with the version that was up to date at that time. I'm stumped to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnOne Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 As am I, but if you never encrypted it yourself in some fashion, It's gone. Learn from it and start again. I think a backup is created each time you use tidy to format your code (Crtl + t) AutoIt Absolute Beginners Require a serial Pause Script Video Tutorials by Morthawt ipify Monkey's are, like, natures humans.

sisko59 Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 It has never created a backup for me. Could you please tell me where i can find this option ? Thank you. you must to download SciTE4AutoIt3.exe, it contains addons tools for autoit. you open tools/scite config. You search backup strategy and you can modify the number after "Keep" sorry for my english. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexykanu Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 Hello, Thank you all for your support. I've managed to recover an older version of the file with some file recovery software. I'll make sure to keep a back-up next time. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
