AutoSet APP_TITLE

Place the following code at the top of a script that is to be compiled. The APP_TITLE variable will get set to the name of the executable. If someone renames the executable the APP_TILE variable value will automatically get set to the new name.

Code: Select all

Separate>command_line,\,vNamePart
Separate>vNamePart_%vNamePart_count%,.,vTitle
Let>APP_TITLE=vTitle_1

I like it, although doesn't work 100% if they include the . (periods) in their file name like I do.

Eg: SAH Remote Tools v1.4.IA.exe

Gets cut off at SAH Remote Tools v1.

Code: Select all

ExtractFileName>Command_Line,strFileName
ExtractFileExt>Command_Line,strExt
StringReplace>%strFileName%,",,strFileName
StringReplace>%strExt%,",,strExt
StringReplace>%strFileName%,%strExt%,,strFileName
Trim>%strFileName%,strFileName
Let>APP_TITLE=%strFileName%

JRL,
Thanks for your mention of APP_TITLE . I wasn't aware of the auto app title setting feature previously.
CyberCitizen,
Appreciate your ingenious solution.

Clever. That seems like definite thinking outside the box.

Can you tell I'm going through scripts looking for script of the month?

Just discovered this, very useful and makes it much more clear when viewing the System Tray for MS files run as exe - as the name will pop-up on hover. Alternative solution using RegEx>

Code: Select all

RegEx>[^\\]+(?=\.exe),command_line,0,m,nm,0
Let>APP_TITLE=m_1
