How to decompile?

[Dirk98]

I have a few compiled scripts with AutioIt that I may want to edit, how to decompile them? Just want to learn if it is possible and how to do it in principle.

Thanks.

Use the supplied exe2aut.exe to do that but:

Changed: AutoIt .a3x and compiled script format. Exe2Aut will only decompile 3.2.5.1

and earlier files. No ExeAut utility is supplied for ongoing versions.

Its is much better to ensure you keep your source and implement a versioning system for your sources.

When you use SciTE you could load the cvsWrapper addon.

Another point in addition to what's already been said here on the topic. If scripts were compiled with a password or other "security" features, you'll probably want to contact the author for the password or better yet the original au3 script. Anyone who has gone to the effort of protecting their code doesn't want others to "edit" it.
