Make_versioninfo.ahk - Generate versioninfo.xml

[justice]

Made a very simple script that you can use as part of the build process of your app, if it uses DcUpdater.

Purpose: Generate the DcUpdater's versioninfo.xml ready for uploading. You probably already store the product version somewhere, so just pass the product version to the app:

Call it as follows (example if your product version is 1.2.3.4):

Code: Text [Select]

1. make_versioninfo.ahk 1.2.3.4

this will generate a _versioninfo.xml with today's date:

Code: Text [Select]

1. <?xml version="1.0"?>
2. <root>
3.         <Program_Version>1.2.3.4</Program_Version>
4.         <Program_Release_Month>05</Program_Release_Month>
5.         <Program_Release_Day>30</Program_Release_Day>
6.         <Program_Release_Year>2011</Program_Release_Year>
7. </root>

Save the following text as versioninfo.xml:

Code: Text [Select]

1. <?xml version="1.0"?>
2. <root>
3.         <Program_Version>$ProgramVersion$</Program_Version>
4.         <Program_Release_Month>$ProgramReleaseMonth$</Program_Release_Month>
5.         <Program_Release_Day>$ProgramReleaseDay$</Program_Release_Day>
6.         <Program_Release_Year>$ProgramReleaseYear$</Program_Release_Year>
7. </root>

Save the following code as make_versioninfo.ahk:

Code: Autohotkey [Select]

1. #NoEnv
2. SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir%
3. if 0 < 1
4. {
5.     MsgBox This script requires at least 1 incoming parameter(s) but it only received %0%.
6.     ExitApp
7. }
8. FileRead, vf, versioninfo.xml
9. FormatTime, ProgramReleaseMonth,, MM
10. FormatTime, ProgramReleaseDay,, dd
11. FormatTime, ProgramReleaseYear,, yyyy
12.  
13. StringReplace, vf, vf, $ProgramVersion$, %1%
14. StringReplace, vf, vf, $ProgramReleaseMonth$, %ProgramReleaseMonth%
15. StringReplace, vf, vf, $ProgramReleaseDay$, %ProgramReleaseDay%
16. StringReplace, vf, vf, $ProgramReleaseYear$, %ProgramReleaseYear%
17. FileDelete, _versioninfo.xml
18. FileAppend,%vf%,_versioninfo.xml

very nice, thank you.

I would have thought that everyone who needs this is happy to install AHK, but I'm happy to add the compiled exe to the zipfile if anyone is interested.
