I have been wondering if it’s possible to do a compare of two FOB files and see what has been changed. And of cause it’s possible. But I’m not a binary geek and I really want to see the same result as if you where comparing two text files.
So what I’m actually asking is: Is it possible to extract the source text from the FOB file?
Maybe not directly, but somehow in “smart” way?
Alternatively is there a way where I can “read” the source code of an object automatically into a different object? I’m thinking this is sort of what is being done in CodeGenius?
I know I maybe have a bit too much time available right now to ask this, but I was just thinking that this could be cool!
Just to bring us back on topic (although the other topic of running forms with recordrefs is very interesting also), then the best I’ve found so far is:http://www.gotcal.com/2008/3/24/gotcalcsideinstaller-source.aspx
Our good old member Søren Nielsen has here created a function that sort of reads the text. But it’s in a separate program. I would like to see it in a automation class control where can use it directly from within.
