The problem should be how can a running PB program know its path and filename?

Or any better idea for reading data from exe file which is running.

Thanks a lot!

You can copy running exe to any temp dir and then easy read all data of exe or patch it.

Sonic3d,

What exactly do you need to do?

Everything from your executable should be loaded into memory.

if you are using a DataSection or IncludeBinary then you just need to use a label to get a pointer it.

Code: Select all

FileName.s = Space(1024)
GetModuleFileName_(GetModuleHandle_(0), @FileName, 1025)

If ReadFile(0,FileName)
    ;etc
