Resource Tuner Console Sample Scripts
 

 

Edit Strings

Example of multiple String processing

This code shows the way you can edit the StringTable and MessageTable entries using VBScript. You can edit as many entries as you wish in a number of files at once. You can repeat editing anytime.

The script edits the strings in the demo EXE (which shipped with the RTC package) using values from the definition file. It modifies the StringTable entries and adds a new MessageTable using the external Unicode text files "strings.txt" and "messages.txt". The resulted file is saved to the Destination folder.

'------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'
' This sample VBScript code provides a real-world example that demonstrates
' many of the features available in Resource Tuner Console. 
'
' This code shows how to: 
' - Modify a String Table using values from an external unicode text file.     
' - Add a Message Table using values from an external unicode text file.
'
' The script will modify strings in demoapp1.exe using values from:
' - definition file "demoapp1.drc" in the "..\Demo\defs\" folder
' - unicode text file "strings.txt" in the "..\Demo\Src" folder
' - unicode text file "messages.txt" in the "..\Demo\Src" folder  
'
' The resulting files will be created in the directory named "..\Demo\Release"
