Title: Binary to resource file ( .res ) converter
Post by: Vortex on December 24, 2007, 08:44:37 PM

bin2res converts a binary file to a .res file to embed binary data into executables.

QuoteUsage : bin2res binaryfile.ext ResID

ResID can be a number with a leading symbol # or a string identifying
the binary data.

The tool works like a simple resource compiler converting binary files to custom resource data. Assume that you have a .rc file named rsrc.rc like the following :

Code Select

MYSONG RCDATA song.mp3

To compile :

Code Select

rc rsrc.rc

and you have a .res file which can be linked with the main module.

The tool simplifies the whole process with only one step :

Code Select

bin2res song.mp3 MYSONG

or you could you specify an integer to identify the resource :

Code Select

bin2res testfile.txt #1000

Full source code is included. You will find also a Masm and a PellesC demo accompanying the tool.
