Retrieving Script From A Compiled Stack

Post by johnmiller1950 » Mon Feb 06, 2012 3:24 pm

Greetings All,

I have a mess. I wrote a database stack that had some pretty sophisticated scripting. I have a number of copies of the compiled stack, but I cannot find the original code anywhere. Is there a way to retrieve the script from a compiled stack?

Your help is much appreciated.

Sincerely,
John Miller

Hi John,

if your standalone/stack is password protected, then you are out of luck and only RunRev
will be able to remove the password, which will cost some fee of course!

Klaus,

The standalone stack is NOT password protected. Is there hope?

Hi John,

in that case you should be able to ope your stack/runtime with any text editor and the scripts should
be in readable format. You could even load the file into a LiveCode field and so some "find" etc...
