Scrambling Scripts

[CadFather]

made some searches but did not find what i was looking for..

i want to scramble a script but rather than the .rbs extension - i'd like to have a file just like Didier's - (scripts start with with EVAL_)

is it something i can do, or is it too arcane?

It's not arcane, but it's so easy to reverse that it is practically pointless.

And although this can be done using Ruby, here is a link to a Windows .exe that will create one.

Thanks Jim, easy and works just fine!

If you're interested in doing it using pure Ruby... see Array.pack and String.unpack methods.

Here's the core functionality:

[IO.read("filename.rb")].pack("m")

thanks Jim, will look into it (as soon as my brain can do it..)

The d/Code plugin also provides this feature.
