Console Resource Editor
High Volume String Manipulations
If your development process requires high-volume string processing, Resource Tuner Console is the solution. RTC replaces all the string resources of a medium-sized program within a second! Use it for removal of strings with a certain resource ID in the string table.
In addition, you can add strings into existing string table, convert a single-language resource directory into a multi-lingual one, or create a copy of the resource with another specified language.
You can edit as many entries as you wish in a number of files at once. You can repeat editing anytime!
Resource Tuner Console provides many ways of editing StringTable and MessageTable entries. You can modify both filled and blank entries. You can specify whether to add a new StringTable entry, or replace an existing entry, or replace an existing string only with the specified Language.
Resource Tuner Console fully supports Unicode. Strings to be replaced can be specified and stored whether in a script body or in an external Unicode text file.
Let's get started with the String automation.
1. Write a simple script (see below)
2. Run Resource Tuner Console
3. You are done.
To see the changes made, we recommend using Resource Tuner GUI, a visual resource editor.
A description of the RTC script format and sample scripts can be found in the RTC Scripting Language Reference within the Resource Tuner Console package.
The following example uses the EditStringTableFromFileW procedure with the EditMode argument set to CREATE_IF_NOT_EXIST to find and edit the entries specified in the Strings.txt file. This script is based on the Edit Strings sample script. It may be helpful to use this example as a template for your own scripts. Basically, all you have to do is replace the file names and paths.
