Hi all

My question : it is possible to "inject" somes files in my exe ? (same as delphi with ressources or others)

I try to join some files (dll, exe, jpg ...) in 1 exe and write files in a temp directory while exe running..

Thanks

You can always use the IncludeBinary command to include files in your exe and then write them back to disk when run.
Could look something like this:

Code: Select all

; write to disk
if CreateFile(0, "tmp\file.jpg")
  WriteData(?StartLabel, ?EndLabel-?StartLabel)
EndIf
 ... ; rest of code
End

; Included Data
StartLabel:
  IncludeBinary "image.jpg"
EndLabel:

Enjoy!

Hi plopzz
If you only want to save some stuff, like pictures, sound temporay to disk for later use in your pogram i.e. - you can include the stuff and grab then using:

Result = CatchSound(#Sound, MemoryAddress)
Result = CatchImage(#Image, MemoryAddress)
Result = CatchSprite(#Sprite, MemoryAddress, Mode)
Result = CatchJPEGSprite(#Sprite, MemoryAddress, JPEGLength, Mode)

Maybe this is what you looking for...!? ,-)
