 Posted: Mon May 02, 2016 5:40 am Post subject: Using LUA to page thru folders and files |
 |
|
hi guys
im trying to create an lua script that search a file for certain keywords, then build another search string from that keyword
in which case it takes the keyword it built and send it to another comandline app toearch and replace all ocurances of the keyword in all specified folders and files...
but...
finding and building the search strings i can do
sending them thru to the command line app i can do
my issue is
for my script...i know only the main folder..after which thers many subfolders etc...lets call the main folder "C:/name-0/"...containing many sub folders...some with their own sub folders for which i dont know their names...for they change each week
then the files i want to page thru...i only know their extension.."*.script" and "*..class" and "*.method"...but dont know their name
so what i want my script to do is starting from the main folder...find the firs file in the folder...build all relevant search strings from it...continue to the nxt file...etc...then, once done with first folder, go to the next folder and repeat the process
how do i get my script to open each file one at a time for which i dont got their file names...
and how do i get my script to go from one folder to the nxt for which i dont have the folder names
regards
basically i want to make my own obfuscation script for my swf files...as swf obfuscaters dont want to work of swf files thats obfuscated already...

Either use lfs (LuaFileSystem) : https://github.com/cheat-engine/cheat-engine/tree/master/Cheat%20Engine/bin (in clibs32/64).
Or use another programming language to do the directory handling, and spawn your program from Cheat Engine.

Here's an example that will print out every file in CE's directory (including subdirectories):
| Code: | f = io.popen("dir \"" .. getCheatEngineDir() .. "\" /A:-D /S /B")
for fpath in f:lines() do
print(fpath:match("[/\\]?([^/\\]+)$")) -- for the full dir, just use fpath
end
f:close() |
If you're using something besides windows, change the string passed to io.popen.

Thanks a lot
so...i can try something like
| Code: |
local file_list={}
local k=0
local l=0
f = io.popen("dir \"" .. getCheatEngineDir() .. "\" /A:-D /S /B")
for fpath in f:lines() do
k=k+1
file_list[k]=fpath:match("[/\\]?([^/\\]+)$")
end
f:close()
for l=1, k do
CurrentFile = io.open(file_list[l], "r");
if (CurrentFile ~= nil) then
local all_data = CurrentFile:read()
end
CurrentFile:close();
GetMyData(all_data);--function that changes values of globals search and replace)
os.execute("C:/myReplaceApp.exe --"..search.."--"replace)
end
|
i would like it to make a file list from all files including those in subfolders, starting from say C:\mytestfolder\Name-0\...where Name-0 is the main folder to start with and want to continue from there with all thefiles as well as files in subfolders...in above example...how do i give it the startng folder eg Name-0...as i think your example will print all the file paths, <which i tried storing in an array>

Also, there is no such thing as a "to" keyword in Lua. Try reading and/or watching a tutorial on Lua first, then start with basic stuff and work your way up to more advanced things.

nxt small issue
ive used
--> = string.find("Hello Lua user", "Lua", 1) -- start at first character
before...but
x, y = string.find(datafile,"QName(PackageNamespace(""),",posit1)
contains " in the search string how do i use QName(PackageNamespace(""), as a search string?
edit-----
looks like i have to use it like
x, y = string.find(datafile,"QName(PackageNamespace(\"\"),",posit1)
will test it
