Changes:
-The script doesn't touch the user.js file until it really has to.
-The merge function is a bit smarter parsing files, at no significant cost. See examples below.
-Minor syntactic changes here and there.
Additions:
-New -multiBackups argument. I personally intend to use it to compare files and quickly review changes.
Fixes:
- Merge function:
*no longer has the potential to truncate super long lines.
*no more issues with exclamation marks in user_pref lines.
Improvements:
- Overall better performance due to ECHO syntax changes.
- Merge function on steroids! Faster than ever, and no longer generates temporary files at all. As it always should have been.
Changes, Additions, Substractions:
- Leading spaces are no longer ignored by the merge function. Lines to be merged must begin with user_pref.
- Added header with name, author, version.
- Added help sub-menu.
- Added special message when no override files are found when using -multiOverrides.
- Formatting changes.
-updatebatch now will (or at least should):
*Download new batch and name it [updater]*.bat
*Open that script in a new CMD window.
*Exit
The [updated]*.bat script should:
*Copy itself overwriting the original batch (without renaming).
*Start that script in a new CMD instance.
*Exit.
The new script, with the original name, should:
*Delete the [updated]*.bat script
*Begin the normal script routine.
@earthing do you think I should still rename the scripts to .old or something before overwriting/deleting?
It ended up being a mixture of the previous commit and the fix. It writes a temporary file on the go that only holds preferences, and generates the target file at once at the end. It's slower than before, but it works.
