Alistair, I checked out the program I recommended and it doesn't work on LiveCode standalones with passwords. As usual, Jacqueline is the go-to person for standalones (and everything else).
The analogx website does have some other interesting programs and I've never had any problem with any of them. When TechTV was on, the main guy (can't think of his name) used to always put in a good word for analogx. --- Good program, but NOT for LIVECODE -- http://www.analogx.com/contents/download/Programming/textscan/Freeware.htm --- On Mon, 7/11/11, planix <dr.alistair at gmail.com> wrote: From: planix <dr.alistair at gmail.com> Subject: getting from exe to Livecode To: use-revolution at lists.runrev.com Date: Monday, July 11, 2011, 4:53 AM Hi, I have just discovered, after numerous changes of my operating system (finally settled on Ubuntu) for various reasons, that I have deleted (doh!) my latest version of an application that I was working on. I did do backups and archive and all the rest but these files were worked on in a rush and I obviously forgot to put them where they needed to be for capture (damn and blast). I usually also print out a hard copy of the scripts that I am writing but, wouldn't you know it, I didn't do that this time. I do, however, have a windows exe file of the last version which I (happily enough) emailed to a student to use in his project. I bet you can see where this is going. Can anyone tell me whether there is a straightforward (not necessarily simple) way of reverse engineering the exe file so that I can get at the scripts? cheers Alistair Campbell Townsville _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
