Code from .txt ?

[WiLD]

Just a stupid question but is it possible to pull code from a txt file and execute it as if it were hardcoded? ..or anything similar?


Im guessing i could always use vbscript and call the function but i want to try and steer away from that.

Eg; code.txt

Code Select Expand


insertdword ...
insertdword ...
insertdword ...
sendpacket  ...
bsend "done"


and i can just 'insert' that wherever.

Yes.

I think the CallByName function is as close as you will get to dynamically calling functions during run-time.

Most languages should be able to do this. This is one thing I love about LISP, such a task would be solved with little to no effort. I remember Python having an eval() function that may perform the same or similar task.

To make sure I understand you correctly, if you had "1 + 1" copied down somewhere in a text document, would you want to evaluate the "code" from that document to get the result of 2?

Looks to me like he's wanting to be able to place his packet structures in text files so he can add support for new packets 'on the fly'.

Wouldn't be a bad idea.

Why do you want to steer away from VBScript?  The Windows Script Host provides access to VBScript, JScript, and any other ActiveX-supported scripting language developed for Windows, including ActivePerl and ActivePython, among others.

It seems like one of the easiest and most flexible ways to do this.  Otherwise you'd need to pretty much implement your own parser, or use someone else's scripting engine.

I was thinking about doing this, if i decided to i would proberly stick with vbscript since it would be easier.
At the moment i only want users to be able to 'inject' their own code that will be executed at an event.

very interesting. This is something I have never tried and I'll look into this.

Especially for inexperienced people that attempt to do a code, and it mess their bot up and them not know how to fix it.

I think you're better off releasing the source.

I think you're better off releasing the source.

I plan to at a later stage, as with all my projects i normally release source around v2 (If it get sthat far).

Anyways i have been looking around and i ended up looking on pscode.com, after awhile i found this (click here) which proves to be interesting but im having a little problem.
In the sample project im getting "Application or object defined error" on

Code Select Expand


Set MyScript = New clsSadScript

Anyone able to figure out why? 


P.S. Remember to register and make a reference to the dll.

Thanks
