Script Example: Base64 Encoding Files

[CyberCitizen]

Hey Guys,

Just a quick little script I use when I want to save files, programs etc within a script to make it portable.

Thanks to Dick Lockey's post here, I modified it a little to put the code into clipboard once done, you can then paste the full code in say a SubRoutine and call it when you need that file extracted.

Code: Select all

Input>filename,Browse to Select a file for Base64 encoding
ExtractFileName>%filename%,strFileName
ReadFile>filename,filedata
Base64>filedata,Encode,b64data
PutClipBoard>Let>SomeVariable=%b64data%%CRLF%Base64>SomeVariable,Decode,BinaryData%CRLF%Let>WLN_NOCRLF=1%CRLF%WriteLn>%TEMP_DIR%%strFileName%,wres,BinaryData

The only thing I wasn't sure on is how to have it write %TEMP_DIR% instead of actually returning the variables path.
