I generate a ZPL codes via Apache F.O.P, however I need it to be unreadable so no one can use it as a template / scrape it. I think that there is a method to obfuscate ZPL.
Is there a way to obfuscate ZPL code?

I have some .sh files, this file contains my ssh and scp details.
I would like to encrypt the ssh files, upon encryption It should be able to execute/run.
like the background.js ( attachment ) file is encrypted but still executing in the browser
Background:
There is a difference between obfuscation and encryption.
Obfuscation hides the data or makes it hard to read, but it is still theoretically possible to reverse this and get back the original source data.
Encryption actually uses cryptography to make it near-impossible to decrypt without a key.
I believe the image I'm looking at above is "obfuscated" and not "encrypted" based on the details that you've provided.
Answer:
If you're running this file on a machine and not in a browser, I'd recommend looking at compiling it into an executable which will compile it into bytecode. This will likely accomplish your original intent of hiding the source. Nexe is one tool for NodeJS that can do this.
If you're running this in the browser, then you can only really obfuscate it. Terser is a library for this in NodeJS
And lastly, a common pattern for hiding ssh details is to put them into environment variables and have a script reference the environment variables rather than actually putting the credentials in the code.
In JS, that would be process.env.PASSWORD
This is a very simple task that I had such a hard time trying to do. My goal is pretty simple: send an mp4 file from my server to my client, and while its buffering and downloading I want to already play it. That means that I need to play a video.mp4 file while writing it, and I need it to display on some platform that I can control - like wxPython or WPF-Ironpython. Naturally, no such platform will let me play an open file for writing.
I have tried to implement and HTTP server (although totally unnecessary for my case, as I am writing an application-based Server-Client app) that would accept Range request, and when I run the server and load the URL on Chrome, it all works perfect and I can seek and buffering is great, but when I load it from WPF MediaElement it fails to play the video for some point (I cant really tell why as there is no documentation for this, any API, tutorials etc). I am really desperate.
I even thought about playing a video from a buffer and then just changing the buffer's content, but it doesn't seem like this possibility exists.
I am really stuck at this and I would love to get some suggestions. Please note that I am not a professional in this so I would appreciate if you could explain this to me in simple terms.
Thanks!
Not possible. MP4 is not the correct container for your application. You must use something like HLS/dash/fragmented MP4.
ok so we all know that there is some awesome tools that allow you to bind a bunch of files no matter what extensions they have into one executable file ex: EasyBinder v 2.0 , or some other allow us to embed files into another one and extract them to specific locations when the file is run (extracting them without running them) like the one in Advanced bat to exe converter
, but when trying to make a script i struggle to find a way to bind or embed random files according to user input , i know it's some advanced scripting or programming techniques and maybe impossible, but the fact that there is a lot of downloadable file binders that are so basic and seem to be created using a simple gui language makes me curious .
when googling "File binders" , i found a lot of programs not even close to 1mb size, and created by some starter programmers
is there any way or any code in any scripting language that can bind files ?
waiting reply impatiently .
This - http://consolesoft.com/p/bhx/index.html will allow you to save a binary file as a a string inside batch file with the option to extract it.
Another way is to use certutil -> http://ss64.org/viewtopic.php?id=1562
you can embed a base64 string inside batch file with -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE----- and -----END CERTIFICATE----- headers around the base64 string.
I’m working with an application for both Windows desktop and Windows store, potentially I will add Windows Phone in the future. I’m having most of my logic in a library and create different GUI for the different platforms.
I want to localize my application and want to share string resources between the platforms. But how do I do that?
For Windows desktop the most common approach seems to be using resx files. Here is a short example:
http://compositeextensions.codeplex.com/discussions/52910
For Windows store app resw files are used instead, here is an example of that:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/hh965326.aspx
Both these solutions are platform specific which I don’t like :-(. I really want to have all my string in one file/language and being able to use that in all platforms. Is there any solution for this?
Update 17 Feb 2014: As I understand it resx and resw files are in the same format. What is missing in Windows store app is that no class file is generated for the resw file. If I just could get a file like that my problems would be solved. Then I could put an instance of that class in my view model and access all text via properties.
The class file generated in WPF application almost works. The problem is this line that looks something like this:
global::System.Resources.ResourceManager temp = new global::System.Resources.ResourceManager("ResxTest.Properties.StringTest", typeof(StringTest).Assembly);
To get this to compile I need to change it to this:
global::System.Resources.ResourceManager temp = new System.Resources.ResourceManager("ResxTest.Properties.StringTest", typeof(StringTest).GetTypeInfo().Assembly);
But the resource ResxTest.Properties.StringTest can’t be loaded in my Windows Store application. For some reason I need to rename my resource to Resource.resw and load it with the name “Resource”. I have tried all kind of names but this is the only one that works. Using name MyApplication.MyResource never works.
I’m not sure if I’m on the right track. I’m almost so desperate that I will make my own solution were I convert an XML-file with all strings I needed to a huge class with properties that I could use to get all string without any resource files. But I think that is ugly and cheating so I hope someone could give me a better idea :-).
Update 24 Feb 2014: I was wrong! Things are working quite nicely with Portable class library. If I use that I could put an instance of auto generated C# class in my view model and access all strings from that object.
But if I use an ordinary library things doesn’t work as properly in Windows Store app (WPF is fine). I have tried to copy all files to a Windows store class library from a working Portable class library. When I try to create an instance of the auto generated file I always get:
An exception of type 'System.Resources.MissingManifestResourceException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: Unable to load resources for resource file "MetroLib.StringResources" in package…
Quite annoying since I’m using the express editions of Visual Studio where portable class library isn’t available. So probably I will develop my own solution to generate classes from a resource file (which also gives me some other benefits). But I’m still curious what I’m doing wrong.
I finally solved the problem. I simply developed a simple tool (ResToCode) to convert resource files to pure C# classes. Quite similar to what Visual Studios resgen.exe is doing, but with some extra features. It works really well so I’m quite happy about it :-).
The tool is available for anyone at CodeProject:

You can put all your resources in a Portable class library and use these libraries on all platform. You might have to check what version of .NET framework you are using. Portable libraries are not available on all the versions of all the platforms.

Have you looked at the Multilingual App Toolkit? It keeps the translations in an industry standard XLIFF format and can generate resources files for Windows and Windows Phone.
I had the same issue with the MissingManifestResourceException for Portable Class Libraries too. Today I created a new Portable Class Library with another name (without the string 'Resources' in it): and it works like a charm. No idea why this hasn't worked before (perhaps the name of the resource).
I'm trying to get some automator script going but I have no clue how to achieve it. It's like this:
in Processing I exported a batch of 1850 SVG's. These SVG's now have to be opened in an application called Cenon. This application can save SVG's as .hpgl files.
It's no problem to open a file in a specific application like Cenon when it's added to a folder. That works fine.
But how do I save this file in a specific extension like .hpgl and create a variable name? Because Cenon always opens a file with the name 'UNTITLED'.
So I need to do:
automatically open file one by one in Cenon
save file as .hpgl file
save file with variable name like (0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, 0005, etc.)
I hope someone can help me!!
Thanks in advance,
Fons.
First of all, let me make a distinction between two related technologies:
AppleEvents which are messages that can be used for different applications to communicate with each other, asking each other to do tasks.
AppleScript which is one kind of scripting language that can send and receive AppleEvents to and from Mac applications.
You can't use AppleEvents with Cenon but you still may be able to use AppleScript with Cenon. I know that you can't use AppleEvents with Cenon because I downloaded Cenon version 4.0.1 from the web and I tried to open up it's AppleEvent dictionary with the "AppleScript Editor.app" application that comes with OS X.
So, AppleEvents are out. This means the "tell" command in AppleScript can't tell the Cenon.app to do anything with AppleEvents, but you may still be able to use AppleScript.
AppleScript can be used by simulating user menu-selections and key strokes instead of using AppleEvents. Using AppleEvents would be better, but sometimes, using AppleScript, you have to go through the user interface.
An alternative to resorting to using AppleScript to simulate the user-interface (UI) would be to use a shell-command. It just seems to me that this would be a better solution, but you would have to find a Unix shell command that was compiled for Mac that would convert from .svg to .hpgl
If you really want to use AppleScript and Cenon.app, here is a link to study about using AppleScript going through the UI of an app:
http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/uiscripting/
AppleScript was originally designed to be a scripting language to take some of the functionality with application A, and then take some of the functionality of application B, etc, and glue it together with a little logic from AppleScript and empower the user to more easily automate their tasks.
AppleScript was designed to be an alternate user-interface, going through AppleEvents, but AppleEvents are not as widely supported as they could be by applications, so this kludgy solution of having AppleScript go through the GUI is commonly done.
Again, I think that a shell script would be a better solution for this problem and you could call is "solution.command" or you could embed the shell script into an Automator Workflow saved as an Application or embed the shell script within an AppleScript saved as an application. Either one work work.
