Is there anyway I can retrieve the deleted script its a 3 day work and I should have a backup copy but I only got the old one I'm not aware of any circumstances where Aut2Exe even makes any changes to the source .au3 file, let alone deletes it.What version of Aut2Exe was it, and what exactly was the error? Exactly how did you run it? Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

Exactly how did you run it? I can't remember the error but it is something to do with unclosed function and it shows a garbage character (random ascii character) I thought it just an ordinary error but when I click ok my script is gone. Anyway I'm using Autoit3 the compiler is Aut2exe V3I already tried checking recycle bin and I also tried file recovery program but no luck.Oh well guess I have to do the coding again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GodForsakenSoul Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 heh. i'm assuming one of the lines was filedelete("your script folder and name") or something XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted April 3, 2008 Developers Share Posted April 3, 2008 Did your error look like?: --------------------------- Aut2Exe Error --------------------------- Line 12 (File "C:\Scriptfile.au3"): Áðáÿ' Error: Unterminated string. --------------------------- OK --------------------------- If so it means you specified Scriptfile.au3 as Target file in stead of scriptfile.exe. This will indeed delete your sourcefile.

Nope, not yet. Just thought of this one when I saw the post and had to try it ... and yes it "worked" as described.I can add a test in AutoIt3Wrapper too, but it really should (also) be checked in AUT2EXE.

Micoman Posted April 3, 2008 Author Share Posted April 3, 2008 @Jos Similar error to that, I'll try to do what you did and see if I'll see the same error that I have last night. Anyway if you where right then theres no way I can recover the script since it was overwritten not deleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
