Is there a way to scan a .jar file to see each step that the program takes? I just ask because I found a .jar file that will supposedly generate pdf files for me out of Tableau. Unfortunately, I am not familiar with the author of the .jar file and want to make sure that I'm not getting something I don't want.
I also have a similar issue with an .exe file. Is there a way to scan the .exe file to see the steps that it takes?
Yes to both.
Jar is easier, there are a few jar decompilers. Classy Shark is simple to use.
There's also the JetBrains decompiler org.jetbrains.java.decompiler.main.decompiler.ConsoleDecompiler which makes a little cleaner code, but is more complex to install.
For exe files, it depends on how it was created, if it's .Net, then you can pull it apart pretty easily with ILSpy.
If the exe was written in something else, it gets much more complicated fast.

In Android Studio, in
~/StudioProjects/$APPLICATION/build/android-profile/,
there are many files profile-*.rawproto, e.g., profile-2017-04-25-18-19-51-815.rawproto.
I have never seen the file suffix .rawproto, does this suggest a certain kind of file, and if so, what is this file generally used for?
With some digging online, it seems to be related to Gradle in IntelliJ/Studio, which is a sensible conclusion since it is in the build directory. But this is all the information I am able to find on what this is or what it should do.
That filename pattern is mentioned in ProcessProfileWriterFactory.java, part of the Android Gradle plugin. Once a real filename is created, it is passed to ProcessProfileWriter.java which seems to write some analytics data about the build process to a file. The rawproto file format is probably Google's Protocol Buffers.
I saw that there is a lua plugin for eclipse and there is a docpage on the awesome main page api_doc and all the .lua files in /usr/share/awesome/lib.
So I thought it must be possible to create a Library or Execution Environment so that one has tabcompletion and docview.
So I tried making my own Execution Environment:
wrote the standard .rockspec file
downloaded the documentation made an ofline version of it and put it in docs/ folder
ziped the files and folders in /usr/share/awesome/lib
ziped all up
tried it out ... and it failed.
When I try to view a documentaion for a .lua file I get "Note: This element has no attached documentation."
Questions: Am I totaly wrong in my doing (because I have the feeling I am)? Is there any way to edit the rc.lua with tabcompletion and docview?
Koneki will probably take a while to setup, but it's definitly worth it. Going for the".doclua"(by using version 1.2) would certainly make it, but I doubt that using a script to generate the information you need, would work out on the long run.
Most likely, you'll probably pass a bit of time to define what kind of object you're dealing with every time you come across one. The right to do, would be to actually take the time to see if the object/module/inner type inherit from an another object, so can actually have more completion feature as you keep using autocomplete to go from one object to another by pressing "dot"+ctrl_space.
In an ideal world, one person could probably make it right and share to other, so they can enjoy a full featured autocomplete editor.
Found solution for eclipse.
First off the idea of setting up an Execution environment was the wrong one.
So the whole thing about downloading the doc although.
For more information on that visit eclipse Wiki for LUA Development Tool.
The right thing to do is to add a source folder which contains the /usr/share/awesome/lib directory.
The bad news is that my comment from above was totally right, which means one has to configure each .lib file in /usr/share/awesome/lib to meet the requirements of the Documentation Language described here.
Than editing the rc.lua (which one can add to the project in eclipse) works with tabcompletion and doc view.
Since the Documentation Language used in the lib files is similar to the one used by "LUA Development Tool" one has not to change many things. Maybe there are even scripts for that.
I've been searching all day for a solution to unzip a file with AutoIt Script. I would like to unzip a file called full.zip to a folder.
This is my last place to turn since I can't find a solution of my own. I have found many solutions made by others; AutoIt3 files containing functions, but the code has issues of which I do not understand, and I'm unable to them copy here because I'm using a screen reader and it doesn't seem to format properly. This is why I can not copy code here.
Does anyone know of a method, tutorial or resource that I can use to unzip a file with AutoIt?
Thanks for any help,
josh.
There are a lot of solutions people have coded. A few examples are the 7zip UDF, Zip.au3, zipfldr UDF. If those are not working for you it is most likely because of small changes to AutoIt, which is usually just #incudes being restructured.
I usually just keep 7za.exe (7-zip's standalone executable, 7-zip can be downloaded from here, and then after installing you can copy the 7za.exe from its program directory).
Then it becomes as simple as a call to RunWait to create the archive:
RunWait("7za.exe a MyNewArchive.zip file1.ext file2.ext ...")
And then to unzip:
RunWait('7za.exe x MyArchive.zip -o"Path\To\MyOutputFolder"')
The 7-zip FAQ also mentions that you can use this exe in your own applications (including commercial ones) provided you mention it in the documentation and provide a link. That means you are ok to use FileInstall(...) to include 7za.exe in the compiled .exe.
is it possible to change text and images in a fla file without ever opening it up and then making the swf via command line? I want to make a flash template and save the fla. Then be able to update my text and image name and convert it to swf. I have one template but tons of different text options and background images. It would be nice to be able to copy the master.fla twenty times and just change the source code (will do this from command line) and then convert to swf (via command line).
Any help would be appreciated.
With CS5, you can do half of what you're asking today, by using the XFL file format instead of FLA. Instead of a binary blob, you get an editable XML file and a tree of separate asset files: PNGs, AS3 files, etc. You can then modify the XML or AS3 files programmatically to get your variants.
(A CS5 FLA file is really just a zipped up version of the XFL, but there's no advantage to using that instead of an XFL. In CS4 and previous, FLA was a proprietary binary format.)
The missing piece is an XFL compiler. Adobe currently provides no such thing, and the third party market hasn't yet produced one.
You could use a systems automation tool to drive the Flash Professional environment through the compilation steps. On OS X, for example, either Automator or AppleScript should be able to do what you want. It'll just have more overhead than the command line compiler you were hoping for.
I agree with Jason, there are a lot of alternatives to what you suggest. Keeping content out of the SWF is good practice actually. This is a good way to avoid large files!
Depending on what you 're looking to achieve, there are a lot of solutions available. XML is an option, JSON another.
If you're looking to build a template, any of the above would seem appropriate.
It sounds like you're working from the Flash IDE, as Jason suggests you may want to have a look at another IDE, such as FlashDevelop, FDT or FlashBuilder as they make coding with AS3 a lot easier.
I'm trying to get my website to talk to a friend's program. Think ITunes - one main program with hundreds of thousands of little things installed into it. We don't want to have to create an InstallShield install program for each of those hundreds of thousands of little things.
We have the files grouped into the folder sub-structure.
We have a .REG file for what registry entry needs to be added to see the new folder group.
But is there a way to do a self extracting zip file that reads a registry entry so we know where they installed the original program to be able to dump the new files there as well? I want them to double-click the EXE and click Finish and for everything to work.
(I've been looking into INF and CAB files through IExpress.exe, but haven't found the answer. I remember Package for the Web didn't have an option to read a registry entry, but did let you modify the suggested install path.)
Thanks so much.
Best wishes,
Andrea

Well, yes and no. There are self-extractors that can run a program after extracting all files. DotNetZip, for example, can produce an SFX which can do this.
Just an aside: a normal SFX is just a zip file, with a "stub" executable merged with it. The stub exe can do anything it wants to do, but the most basic thing it does is extract the files in the zip. When you use DotNetZip to produce an SFX, it embeds its particular stub into the zip. That stub knows how to extract files, and also knows how to invoke a program after extracting. You can also produce your own stub that can do other more exotic things.
So you could use an SFX for your purpose. When run, it would extract, then invoke it's extra program. The program could look in the registry, then move or relocate the extracted files to the appropriate place. Then terminate.
For a different twist, the SFX might have just two files: the program-to-run (the one that reads the registry, and another embedded zip. Then when the SFX runs it generates 2 files. Then it invokes the program-to-run, which reads the registry, then unpacks the contained zip and puts the files into the desired place.
Ok, so you could do it.
Should you?
mmm, maybe. This really is an installer, so, you should decide whether you want to use a zip as an installer. Don't forget, if you use an SFX as an installer, there's no good way to uninstall.
Have you tried Inno Setup toolchain? It's a bit better than a bare Self-Extracting ZIP file, it's a setup creation utility. I'm convinced it has got something to put some entry in the Registry, look also at the plugins.
Basically, a self-extracting executable that alters the registry, it's a setup program. So why don't you go for a proper one?
