Embeding source into exe so it can be recovered?


Recommended Posts

Heya,

I remember finding some posts about a way to embed a copy of your scripts source code into a compiled exe so it could be recovered if needed...

e.g. running "myscript.exe" would run the script... but running "myscript.exe /recover" would save a copy of the source code somewhere instead of running the script...

I can't find these posts anymore & would like to play around with this idea...

Any tips or pointers?

sorry if this is an easy question... I'm just starting out with AutoIT & scripting in general (besides basic Batch files).

Thanks!
