Packing code within code – a HTA exercise in string manipulation
February 16, 2010

I was working on a HTA tool this week, and to make things easier I wanted to encapsulate another HTA within it – really I just didn’t want to have to send two files to the user, I wanted everything in one, and rather than take the obvious approach of putting them both into a self-extracting zip, I decided to work out how to include the code of File B in File A.
Note – you can find the test files for this article on my companion site, CTOGoneWild
Pretty easy stuff I thought, just split B up into a string, and include a simple routine to write it out to the temp directory
1 : Dim s : s="Some text to output to a file" &_ 2 : " which is more than one line and go" &_ 4 : "es on a bit." 6 : Dim fso: Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.filesystemobject") 8 : fso.createtextfile("test.txt").write s
