1st script :
| Code: | local open = io.open
local function read_file(path,file)
local file = open(file, "rb")
if not file then return nil end
local content = file:read "*a"
file:close()
return content
end
path = TrainerOrigin or getMainForm().OpenDialog1.InitialDir
path = Path..'\\'
local fileContent = read_file(path, 'Lynxz Gaming.txt') --- change to filename you want to open and read
print(fileContent); |
NOTE : put on same directory / path you want to open and read.
2nd script :
| Code: | function GetFileName(f)
local str = f
local temp = ""
local result = ""
for i = str:len(), 1, -1 do
if str:sub(i,i) ~= "/" then
temp = temp..str:sub(i,i)
else
break
end
end
for j = temp:len(), 1, -1 do
result = result..temp:sub(j,j)
end
return result
end
function getfile()
load_dialog = createOpenDialog(self)
load_dialog.InitalDir = os.getenv('%USERPROFILE%')
load_dialog.execute()
file = load_dialog.FileName
fl = GetFileName(file)
if fl == nil then
return file
else
local open = io.open
local file2read = open(fl, "rb")
local content = file2read:read "*a"
file2read:close()
print(content)
return content
end
end
getfile() |
It's up to you which one you want t use.... LOL... LOL...

I feel like GetFileName could be replaced with | Code: | | function GetFileName(f) return f:match('.*\\(.*)%.') end |
actually, it can't because your GetFileName works exclusively with '/' not '\', also it includes the extension but that's a trivial change. | Code: | | function GetFileName(f) return f:match('.*[/\\](.*%..*)') end |
Though for the same functionality I think this is slightly simpler (can't guarantee it's any more efficient but it seems like it should be) | Code: | function SkipSlash(f)
local last = 0
local slash = last
repeat
slash = last
last = file:find('/', last+1)
until not last
return file:sub(slash+1)
end |
the actual shortest would probably be | Code: | function SkipSlash(f)
local r = f:reverse()
local n = r:find('/') or 0
return r:sub(0,n-1):reverse()
end |
but it's going to duplicate the string to reverse it and then the filename twice (once reversed once unreversed)... actually now that I think about it I'm not sure if lua can reuse substrings... it's possible since they're immutable, I'm just not sure if it does.
The 2nd would still be longer than the first but then it is doing a bit more.

@Corroder Master, do you code this file open locally?
in Trainer (AddFile) with a file open button. 
But can this file be an .exe?
Files are hosted in Trainer and opened with a command.
Can I ask for a coding?

@freeER, yes..function getFileName(f) ; has contain code to manipulating escape character sequences, while this '/' or '\' considered as invalid characters by lua.
Actually, as the topic wish to read a file without need to write any long path name, then this script also work without getFileName(f) function.
| Code: | load_dialog = createOpenDialog(self)
load_dialog.InitalDir = os.getenv('%USERPROFILE%')
load_dialog.execute()
file = load_dialog.FileName
local file2read = io.open(file, "rb")
local content = file2read:read "*a"
file2read:close()
print(content)
return content |
So, @Aylin...yes you can add the code to a button 'Open File' and execute that file if that file(s) is an application (exe, bat, msi, etc...)
| Code: | function executeFile(f_app)
load_dialog = createOpenDialog(self)
load_dialog.InitalDir = os.getenv('%USERPROFILE%')
load_dialog.Filter = 'Executable files|*.EXE;*.BAT;*.CMD;*.sh|Bat files (*.bat)|*.BAT|Exe files (*.exe)|*.EXE|All files (*.*)|*'
load_dialog.execute()
file = load_dialog.FileName
f_app = file:match('.*\\(.*)%.') --- use freeER code
shellExecute(f_app)
end |

Here's how I get the path separator.
| Code: | | local pathseparator = package.config:sub(1,1) |
And I just use it with this.
| Code: | function getPath( ... )
local pathseparator = package.config:sub(1,1)
local elements = { ... }
return table.concat(elements, pathseparator)
end |

Ah...thank @tim..
But in case eliminating \ concatenating path name, then path name must be write with '\\' or '/' to make lua accept the path name.
Your script :
| Code: | function getPath( ... )
local pathseparator = package.config:sub(1,1)
local elements = { ... }
return table.concat(elements, pathseparator)
end
a= 'E:\tester.txt'
print(getPath(a)) ---> result : E: ester.txt'
a = 'E:\\tester.txt '
print(getPath(a)) ---> result : E:\tester.txt'
a = 'E:'/tester.txt '
print(getPath(a)) ---> result : E:/tester.txt'
--- note : by default in windows, path name should display as '[dir name] ..\.. [sub dir name]....\..[file name]'
|
However with your code also will give same result. So, this is another optional to get a file from a path (and execute it).
| Code: | function getPath( ... )
local pathseparator = package.config:sub(1,1)
local elements = { ... }
return table.concat(elements, pathseparator)
end
function executeFile(f_app)
load_dialog = createOpenDialog(self)
load_dialog.InitalDir = os.getenv('%USERPROFILE%')
load_dialog.Filter = 'Executable files|*.EXE;*.BAT;*.CMD;*.sh|Bat files (*.bat)|*.BAT|Exe files (*.exe)|*.EXE|All files (*.*)|*'
load_dialog.execute()
file = load_dialog.FileName
-- f_app = file:match('.*\\(.*)%.') --- use freeER code
f_app = getPath(file) --use TheyCallMeTim13 code
shellExecute(f_app)
end
executeFile(f_app) |

the getPath is meant for concatenation of a file path, so:
| Code: | | getPath('e:', 'someFolder', 'somefile.txt') |

I uploaded a simple file (CT)
With 'addFile' I put the file I want to open into. 
I want to open this file with a Button.
The file will not be dropped on the table, it will stay in the trainer.
It will be activated as Local.
Also Corrod: I request an exception. 
Look into CT, please. You have such a file (1by1) and
We have processed a forum with 40 posts.
You should have suggested 1by1. Maybe it will get better results.

I don't think CE can open and execute an exe file has store via add file to CE Table or an exe file as a stream file.
Even we change that exe file as sting binary file. Windows not allow to execute a bin file easy without some parameters needed.
But we still do a trick to execute exe file has store as stream file, in this case is a pure exe file without any lib files, or other files etc.
Here is the trick :
| Code: | function CEButton1Click(sender) ---- CEButton1 event to auto execute player exe
path = TrainerOrigin or getMainForm()
player_1by1 = findTableFile('player.exe').Stream
player_path = path..'\\player.exe'
player_1by1.saveToFile(player_path)
player_1by1.destroy()
os.execute('player.exe')
end
function remove_exit() --- remove player exe and player.ini from path when CE close
player_path = TrainerOrigin or getMainForm()
player_file1 = player_path..'\\player.exe'
player_file2 = player_path..'\\player.ini'
os.remove(player_file1)
os.remove(player_file2)
closeCE()
return caFree
end
MainForm.OnClose = remove_exit
form_show(UDF1) |
Note : I am not make a function to check if file player.exe exist on path or not, i think it doesn't need. And player.exe must be close first before close CE.
EDIT : you can use os.execute('taskkill /im player.exe /f') to force kill player.exe process if it still running

Coding opens with a way cmd.exe.
Is this call in the encoding? 
also it needs to establish a OnTimer before closing the player.
Without the player.ini the file does not close.
I've arranged a try.
Thanks also for coding.
If you are aware, this encoding will close the MP3 Player project.
Sorry..
EDIT: the following code is functioning properly.
But at Player opening,
It opens with cmd.exe and cmd.exe remains.
| Code: | function CEButton1Click(sender) ---- CEButton1 event to auto execute player exe
path = TrainerOrigin or getMainForm()
player_1by1 = findTableFile('player.exe').Stream
player_path = path..'\\player.exe'
player_1by1.saveToFile(player_path)
player_1by1.destroy()
os.execute('player.exe')
end
function CEButton2Click(sender)
UDF1.CETimer1.Enabled = true
end
function CETimer1Timer(sender)
os.execute('taskkill /im player.exe /f') --- remove player exe and player.ini from path when CE close
UDF1.CETimer2.Enabled = true
end
function CETimer2Timer(sender)
UDF1.CETimer1.Enabled = false
player_path = TrainerOrigin or getMainForm()
player_file1 = player_path..'\\player.exe'
player_file2 = player_path..'\\player.ini'
player_file3 = player_path..'\\1by1rss.XML'
os.remove(player_file1)
os.remove(player_file2)
os.remove(player_file3)
closeCE()
return caFree
end
UDF1.OnClose = remove_exit
form_show(UDF1)
UDF1.CETimer1.Enabled = false
UDF1.CETimer2.Enabled = false |

I don't know what are you trying to do with add CETimer on your form.
We need not to make something simple to be complex.
However, this script below trying to meet what you need.
| Code: | function CEButton1Click(sender)
player_path = TrainerOrigin or getMainForm()
player_1by1 = findTableFile('player.exe').Stream
player_path = player_path..'\\player.exe'
------ check if player.exe already ran or not
------ then if user click 'open' button again when player exe already ran, it will not give error access violation
filedata = io.popen("tasklist /NH /FO CSV /FI \"IMAGENAME eq "..player_path.."\"")
output = filedata:read()
filedata:close()
if output ~= "INFO: No tasks are running which match the specified criteria." then
------ Program is running. Close the program
os.execute("taskkill -im"..player_path)
else
--- -- Program is not running
player_1by1.saveToFile(player_path)
--player_1by1.destroy() --- this no need when use shellExecute
shellExecute(player_path) ---
os.execute('Exit') --- close windows CMD pop-up
end
end
function CEButton2Click(sender)
player_path = TrainerOrigin or getMainForm()
player_file1 = player_path..'\\player.exe'
------ check if player.exe already ran or not
------ in case, if player.exe still running, then we can not delete it
filedata = io.popen("tasklist /NH /FO CSV /FI \"IMAGENAME eq "..player_file1.."\"")
output = filedata:read()
filedata:close()
if output ~= "INFO: No tasks are running which match the specified criteria." then
------ Program is running. Close the program
os.execute("taskkill -im"..player_file1)
else
------ Program is not running
player_file2 = player_path..'\\player.ini'
player_file3 = player_path..'\\1by1rss.xml'
os.remove(player_file1)
os.remove(player_file2)
os.remove(player_file3)
closeCE()
return caFree
end
end
---MainForm.OnClose = remove_exit ---- this is no need since you gave option to close CE via CLOSE button
form_show(UDF1)

Buttons did not detect the end of "else".
the current encoding is working,
but I added one more button.
button 2 must be; opening and closing.
Your last code is: closing CMD and open program,
but it did not record the program and did not open it.
I edited it assuming that the flow was prevented with "else".
or a Timer for openPlayer. 2 Buttons, 1 Timer?
you are angry with the use of the Timer, but it may be good for the flow.
we are reaching the result. Thanks for your help and patience master @Corroder

Yes, this... 'else'
....

.... |
must be mistyping while wrote code to this post, because on my CT it's 'else' not '-- else'.
| Quote: | Your last code is: closing CMD and open program,

|
Not really understood what mean of ' it did not record the program and did not open it'.
| Quote: | | you are angry with the use of the Timer, Smile but it may be good for the flow. Wink |
Why I must get angry. for what reasons ?.
I said 'We need not to make something simple to be complex', it's mean in connection to programming style) :
1. Try to get and use the easiest way to reach the goal following by some aspects.
example : in CE
| Code: | control_setCaption.UDF1.CELabel1('Hi I am use cheat engine') --- this is writing on classic CE style.
-- this same to :
UDF1.CELabel1.Caption = 'Hi I am use cheat engine'
-- or
lbl1 = UDF1.CELabel1
-- then simply we can use in entire script
lb1.Caption = 'Hi I am use cheat engine'
lb1.Color = '0xFFFFFF'
-- etc...etc
|
Note this : Every characters / letters used on scripts will counting as 1 byte. So, consider this, how much CT file size will grow up if not typing script code in efficient way ?. And also there are many reasons to be considering such as add stream files, images, etc to a CT file. Who want get or download a CT file with file size 50 MB's or over ?
2. In case make a CE Trainer, such as other programming languages, if you plan to publish your work, then try to place yourself as user side who shall use your work, except you will use it personally then doesn't matter what you do.
Look to my last script above, there are several notes there. That notes present what I thought as a user.
The logic is 'What if'. example in your case : 'What if user click Open Button again while user already clicked it for first time ?.' Also, I gave you option about event when close your form (via button click or what ever). The option is to delete player.exe, player.ini, etc from path, which created when click open button. Did you think this case ?. That is example called with 'What if'. And other more examples that you can think by yourself.
3. Make a CE Trainer, such as other programming languages, I believe and use only property required by the project. For example :
I will not add a Timer for open or close a external program/app if not important or for some reasons. I will do just 'closeCE + parameters' and will not make user waiting without clearly reasons. I more like use 'showMessage('message', mbOK) to give user choise sure to close or not....
The first thing that I'm thinking when open/close an app is : Is this safe ?. or Is this close properly without left any unnecessary files on my machine ?. Am I sure no process still running on the background ?.
Many other thing if want to say but it will make a long talk and I don't need it. So finally, what I've trying to is to tell you a good. But if then you think I was angry then I am not. And if my critic for your job is hard to accept by you, then leave it. Because at the last it's your decision.
Cheers...

People do not mind the online advertising pages that are opened with Timer for hours.
or a trainer of 30 game titles is 6 MB.
For them; Impact and result are important.
For me; It's a little more fun and visual.
Both sides are satisfied with the results.
Last Trainer 3500 lines and 6 MB
Nobody is looking at it. On the contrary, entertainment is multiplying.
Perhaps; We are thinking too much about people who use
It's driving us away from the fun.
Instead of pausing for 2 more years, I'd rather have fun and continue
The "-else" topic:
Every 2 Buttons did not read codes after "else", did not apply.
However, if you disabled the "else" character, the entire code worked.
"-" reminder was in this direction.
My purpose is not to test your patience. Translation errors makes me talkative.
You and @FreeER, you have an effort on me.
If I have a fault with your, forgive me.
