newb question, does commented code get compiled?

[snoww]

I was wondering if a heavy commented script retains the comments ( size more or less) when the code is compiled into an exe using autoit's compiler.

lalalala.... from the helpfile

The semicolon ( is the comment character. Unless the semicolon is within a string, all text following it is ignored by the script interpreter/compiler.

EDIT: How do I make it not show up as a smily? muttley

To answer your question: No, the comments are stripped from a compiled script.

Just uncheck the box that says "Enable Smilies" under the text area.

The help file says that the comments are ignored, it doesn't say if they are still included.

Uncheck "Enable Emoticons" in the "Post Options" section of the full editor

thank you sry didnt read the readme.

What would be the best way to add some dummy script to change the filesize of the exe but not change the actual functioning code, wierd question I know.

Yes... and the purpose of all this is?

Define a bunch of unused variables at the top of the script maybe? muttley

So his malware isn't very small? Lol

*Shifty Eyes*

Just teasing, although it does sound like that muttley

EDIT: @Paulie, wouldn't that just increase memory usage? I think the OP is trying to make the compiled EXE have a larger size

Well simply put I have a compiled script thats 300kb and I want to change it to say 310kb or 350kb it doesnt really matter, I am trying to look for some dummy variables or code that will be compiled to largen the final exe.

The purpose is for a bot that would like to aviod a mass checksum scan.

Could you guys stay out and give the OP time to respond to my question?

I am really curious what GOOD reason there is to increase the size of an compiled script.

Don't understand the Mass check sum thing but adding variables and giving it a string as value will increase the size.

I tried that including adding like 30 dummy unused global variables but it was same size.

Also just so you know this is NOT malware or anything of the sort its a personal gaming bot for my use only.
