There is a misknown tool, wbzip.exe, that allows extracting encoded files from command line.
There are several versions around, as often happens there is no actual trace of it's evolution, or nothing even comparable to a proper history, help, etc., etc.
Some traces can be found here (just to know whom you might eventually thank for at least attempting to keep things in a minimal kind of order
):http://www.boot-land...?showtopic=9673

It's syntax is simply awful
and it can easily get you in a CATCH22 situation, in order to extract a file you need to ALREADY know BOTH the [Section] where it is encoded AND the actual filename, which means that you have to open in a text editor the actual .script in order to find this data and your eyes (unless you are Ferengi) will be struck by the inane amount of commas, #$c, #$q, #$etc., #$etc..The attached small batch is intended to help in this.
Here is a "screenshot"
:A parameter is missing or incorrect, you typed: unwbzip unwbzip.cmd simple batch to help in using wbzip.exe or wbzip_new.exe to extract files embedded in Winbuilder .scripts Release ALPHA 0.01 15/March/2010 by jaclaz ****************************************************** **paths with spaces in them rigorously NOT supported** ****************************************************** Usage: unwbzip <scriptname.script> [options] [<section> <filename>] [TargetDir] Options: /L - List all filenames of files encoded in .script /LS - List all Sections of files encoded in .script /XA - eXtract All files encoded in .script /XF <filename> - eXtract File <filename> regardless of it's Section /XS <section> - eXtract All files contained in <Section> only /XSF <section> <filename> - eXtract <Filename> from <Section> only
Please find also attached "a" version of wbzip_new.exe, the one I tested the batch with.
As always, no help file given , if the above info is not enough to let you use the batch, it means that you should NOT use it.

To this post was attached the first, experimental, pre-alpha release of the batch, to avoid further misunderstandings with people that fail to read a 16 post long thread, I removed it, and it is now replaced by this sentence:
GET LATEST VERSION IN THE LATEST POST IN THIS THREAD WITH AN ATTACHMENT IN THE FORM unwbzipxyz.zip
(hint: unwbzip006 comes LATER than unwbzip004 and this latter comes later than unwbzip003, I hope you get the idea...)
