exodius Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Is it possible to incorporate an entire folder using the FileInstall Function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Hi,Read the manual please before asking this kind of questions But to answer it : NO !Taken from the help file.The FileInstall function is designed to include files into a compiled AutoIt script. These included files can then be "extracted" during execution of the compiled script. Keep in mind that files such as images can greatly increase the size of a compiled script.The source file must be a string and not a variable so that the compiler can extract the filename to include. The source cannot contain wildcardsAndre What about Windows without using AutoIt ?It would be the same as driving a car without an steering Wheel!

exodius Posted February 7, 2005 Author Share Posted February 7, 2005 The source file must be a string and not a variable so that the compiler can extract the filename to include. The source cannot contain wildcards. That doesn't explicitly say "And by the way, you can't use folders." Being new to the message board doesn't automatically make everyone an idiot. Sometimes it's nice to check to make sure the functionality doesn't exist before finding another way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ioliver Posted February 7, 2005 Share Posted February 7, 2005 Speaking of another way, I think you could zip the folder that you want to include, fileinstall() it, and then have AutoIt unzip the folder. Unless I'm missing something. *I didn't check the help file.

this-is-me Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 Someone made a udf that will create all the fileinstall code lines from a folder, but I don't remember where it was. Who else would I be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted February 8, 2005 Share Posted February 8, 2005 This is an old script. Could probably use some improving. But does seem to produce some results. It creates a list for fileinstalling, from a directory.expandcollapse popup; FileInstall Archiver Compiler Script. #Region - Variables Dim $print, $line, $ans, $filenum, $folder, $hc, $hd, $clist, $dlist, $len, $read, $dist, $progress $dlist = 'DirList.txt' $clist = 'ConvList.txt' #EndRegion #Region - Script ; Input from user $filenum = InputBox('FileInstall Archiver', 'Enter file number of files in the source folder', '', '', -1, 125) If @error = 1 Then Exit Sleep(200) $folder = InputBox('FileInstall Archiver', 'Name for folder to be extracted' & @CRLF & _ ' into temporary directory at runtime', 'F_' & Int(Random(100, 999)), '', -1, 140) If @error = 1 Then Exit Sleep(200) $ans = InputBox('FileInstall Archiver', 'Insert full path to the source folder location', 'C:\InstallRite', '', -1, 125) If @error = 1 Then Exit Sleep(200) ; Use dir command to create list RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c dir "' & $ans & '\" /a:-D /b /s > "' & $dlist & '"', '', @SW_HIDE) Sleep(2000) Run('notepad ' & $dlist) MouseWheel('down', 100) Sleep(3000) WinClose('DirList - Notepad') ; Open files for read and write $hd = FileOpen($dlist, 1) $hc = FileOpen($clist, 2) $len = StringLen($ans) FileWriteLine($clist, 'Func Extract()') FileWriteLine($clist, ' DirCreate(@TempDir & "\' & $folder & '")') ProgressOn('Converting list', '') Convert() ProgressOff() FileWriteLine($clist, 'EndFunc ;===>Extract') Install() Remove() FileClose($hd) FileClose($hc) ; Sort files and copy to clipboard FileDelete('DirList.txt') FileMove($clist, @DesktopDir & "\FileInstall_Include.au3", 1) Sleep(2000) FileDelete($clist) Run('Notepad.exe ' & @DesktopDir & "\FileInstall_Include.au3") WinWaitActive('FileInstall_Include') Send('^a') Send('^c') Sleep(1000) MsgBox(0, 'FileInstall Archiver', 'Copied to clipboard' & @CRLF & @CRLF & 'Task is Complete') #EndRegion ; Functions Func Convert() While $line <> $filenum $line = $line + 1 $read = FileReadLine('DirList.txt', $line) $dist = StringTrimLeft($read, $len) $print = ' FileInstall("' & $read & '", ' & '@TempDir & "' & '\' & $folder & $dist & '", 1)' Sleep(20) FileWriteLine($clist, $print) Sleep(20) $progress = $progress + (100 / $filenum) ProgressSet($progress) WEnd EndFunc ;==>Convert Func Install() FileWriteLine($clist, @CRLF & "Func Install()") FileWriteLine($clist, " Sleep(2000)") FileWriteLine($clist, " Run(@ComSpec & ' /c ' & @TempDir & '\" & $folder & "\SETUP.EXE','', @SW_HIDE) ;===>EXE ???")
