This is just to show you how to append a file to an executable. Could be handy if you wanna save maybe a tag to your exe file. Have not test it with very large files but small file works perfectly.
Side Effects
There could be problems with large files, I dont know.
VBcodersPrivate Sub AppendToExe(exefile$,filetoappend$)
Open filetoappend$ For Binary As #1
filedata$ = String(LOF(1), " ")
Get #1, , filedata$
Close #1
Open exefile$ For Binary As #1
f = LOF(1)
Seek #1, f + 1
Put #1, , "WAP" 'any identifer
Put #1, , filedata$
Close #1
End Sub
Private Sub ExtractFromExe(exefile$,filetoextr$)
Open exefile$ For Binary As #1
filedata$ = String(LOF(1), " ")
Get #1, , filedata$
Close #1
pos = InStr(1, filedata$, "WAP")
f$ = Mid$(filedata$, pos + 3)
Open filetoextr$ For Binary As #2
Put #2, , f$
Close #2
End Sub
