PureBasic Constant Sniffer

Code updated for 5.20+

This little project reads out all of the PB contants present in .res files.

; PB Resident Sniffer

open.s=OpenFileRequester("Res Sniffer","*.res","*.res",1)

If ReadFile(0,open)
  size=Lof(0)
  buffer=AllocateMemory(size)
  ReadData(0,buffer,size)
  CloseFile(0)
  
  If CreateFile(1,"output.txt")
    
    For a=0 To size
      line.s=Trim(PeekS(buffer+a))
      
      If Mid(line,1,3)="PB_"
        WriteStringN(1,"#"+line)
      EndIf
      
      a+Len(line)
       
    Next
    CloseFile(1)
  EndIf
  
EndIf

This outputs the following:

#PB_3DArchive_FileSystem
#PB_3DArchive_Zip
#PB_Any
#PB_Button_Left
#PB_Button_MultiLine
#PB_Button_Right
#PB_Button_Toggle
#PB_Camera_Orthographic
#PB_Camera_Perspective
#PB_Camera_Plot
#PB_Camera_Textured
#PB_Camera_Wireframe
#PB_CheckBox_Center
#PB_CheckBox_Right
#PB_Clipboard_Image
#PB_ClipboardImage
...
...
...
etc

Is there an updated version of this little tool?
With this version only a few constants are catched.

Thanks

The reason for this is that there are resident files for all situations such as the Windows API, Linx Mac and other author's own residents and they all start with anything but PB_ so you have to analyse the format of the res file to grab all these others. Num3's routine only grabs (and looks for) all the obvious PB ones.

Have a look at one of the biggest res files with a hex viewer and you will soon see the format you need to grab.

Fangles,
that's exactly what's needed for.
There are so many new PB constants - it would be nice to get a complete list. But Num3's tool only catches a few.

Hoped to find a PB_Constants Listviewer in the new IDE or a file in the compiler directory...

I went looking in the IDE and there is a constants viewer and it lists thousands. I went and counted the number of PB ones, came out to 608.

Go to TOOLS/STRUCTURE VIEWER and then the CONSTANTS tab and see if that's the one you wanted.

That's exactly it, thanks Fangles.
Take care

PS. It shows that I didn't do anything with Pure in almost a year... Thanks again.

Because I wanted to have a list (in a file) I changed Num3's code to work properly with V4.

Code: Select all

; PB Resident Sniffer for "PB_" constants

open.s=OpenFileRequester("Res Sniffer","*.res","*.res",1)

If ReadFile(0,open)
  size.l=Lof(0)
  open = GetFilePart(open)
  
  If CreateFile(1,open +".txt")

    For a=0 To size ;Step 1
      Number.b = ReadByte(0)

      If Number = 80 ;Hex = 50
        Number.b = ReadByte(0)

        If Number = 66 ;Hex = 42
          Number.b = ReadByte(0)

          If Number = 95 ;Hex = 5F
            StartPoint.l = Loc(0) - 3
              
            Repeat
              Number.b = ReadByte(0)

              If Number = 0
                EndPoint.l = Loc(0)
                Break
              EndIf
            ForEver
          
            BufferSize.l = EndPoint - StartPoint
            buffer=AllocateMemory(BufferSize)
            FileSeek(0, StartPoint)
            ReadData(0,buffer,BufferSize)
            line.s=PeekS(buffer)
    
            If line = "PB_Explorer_Column_Accessed" ;do nothing 
            ElseIf line = "PB_Explorer_Column_Attributes" ;do nothing
            ElseIf line = "PB_Explorer_Column_Created" ;do nothing
            ElseIf line = "PB_Explorer_Column_Modified" ;do nothing
            ElseIf line = "PB_Explorer_Column_Name" ;do nothing
            ElseIf line = "PB_Explorer_Column_Size" ;do nothing
            ElseIf line = "PB_Explorer_Column_Type" ;do nothing
            Else
              WriteStringN(1,"#"+line)
            EndIf

          EndIf
        EndIf
      EndIf
    Next
    
    CloseFile(1)
  EndIf

  CloseFile(0)
 
EndIf

FreeMemory(-1)
MessageRequester("HI", "ALL DONE")
End

[crap]
With this code I get 602 constants, 7 of them are not even recognized by the compiler:

#PB_Explorer_Column_Accessed
#PB_Explorer_Column_Attributes
#PB_Explorer_Column_Created
#PB_Explorer_Column_Modified
#PB_Explorer_Column_Name
#PB_Explorer_Column_Size
#PB_Explorer_Column_Type
[/crap]

EDIT:
Changed code to avoid writing of this 7 special String Constants.
Now 595 constants are written.
Thanks Freak.

Fred must have forgotten to put those int he latest beta because I remember with 3.94 that you could remove collumns in an ExplorerListIcon and add custom types using those constants (or similar) to create system specific collumn types.

These are the current ones that 3.94 understood.

#PB_Explorer_Name : displays the name of the file/directory
#PB_Explorer_Size : displays the filesize in Kb
#PB_Explorer_Type : displays a string describing the filetype
#PB_Explorer_Attributes : displays the attributes of the file/directory
#PB_Explorer_Created : displays the time the file/directory was created
#PB_Explorer_Modified : displays the time the file/directory was last modified
#PB_Explorer_Accessed : displays the time the file/directory was last accessed

Compare those to the ones you just found:

#PB_Explorer_Column_Accessed
#PB_Explorer_Column_Attributes
#PB_Explorer_Column_Created
#PB_Explorer_Column_Modified
#PB_Explorer_Column_Name
#PB_Explorer_Column_Size
#PB_Explorer_Column_Type

Almost sounds like he has changed; or is planning to change the old format to be more consistent to these new examples. Witht he word "Column" in the constant name, it makes more sense.

@Fred Have you changed; or are you planning to change; the old constants names to these new ones? Will they be in a later beta or the full release?

These constants were there for a long time and have not changed.
They are string constants actually with values like "PB_Explorer_Column_Name",
thats why your tool is probably mistaken the values themselves to be constants.

Just look up #PB_Explorer_Name in the IDE's Structureviewer and you will see.

fsw · Post by **fsw** » Wed Feb 15, 2006 2:14 am

Place these constants in your code:

#PB_Explorer_Column_Accessed
#PB_Explorer_Column_Attributes
#PB_Explorer_Column_Created
#PB_Explorer_Column_Modified
#PB_Explorer_Column_Name
#PB_Explorer_Column_Size
#PB_Explorer_Column_Type

and try to compile.

The compiler says:

"Line X: Constant not found: #PB_Explorer_Column_Accessed"

That's why I said the compiler doesn't recognizes them.

It seems weird because they are in the RES file, so the compiler should know them.

They are NOT in the resident. Your extraction code is wrong.

Just look up #PB_Explorer_Name in the IDE Strueture/Constant viewer and you will see where the confusion comes from.

Now I understand...

You tricked me

EDIT:

Thanks again Freak.

Why you dont read the values for the constants, too?

Code: Select all

  If CreateFile(1,open +".txt") 

    For a=0 To size ;Step 1 
      Number.b = ReadByte(0) 

      If Number = 80 ;Hex = 50 
        Number.b = ReadByte(0) 

        If Number = 66 ;Hex = 42 
          Number.b = ReadByte(0) 

          If Number = 95 ;Hex = 5F 
            StartPoint.l = Loc(0) - 3
