search inside an Exe

[mohfa]

Hi , i have made an HTML EXE using VirtualSite which stores all the html , htm files
so every thing goes good , but what i want is to make a search ( for a keyword ) in all these files without extract them like in html help file when you want to search for a keyword then the result will listed in listbox , and the webbrowser will automatically highlight the searched keyword

many thanks

Hi!

The question is: In which format are the pages stored inside the exe? Is ist the raw html-code? Or is it compressed?
If it isn't compressed, u can open the file as filestream or something like this and search for the text u want to find.
If it is compressed or encoded in another way you have to extract the data.

[mohfa]

the files stored are stored in their original format ( Html ), no compression


thank you

What an idiot thing is this? Converting the HTML to .chm would be good enough. Why adding an EXE which only calls IE? .chm does that already.

Unlike you see on MTV, educated english men avoid the use of improper words like idiot.
If its bad, then say it is not good.

I call an idiot an idiot. I have a proper place for political correctness (i usually sit on it).
BTW i am referencing VirtualSite not mohfa.

Are you sure? Just test it: Open the exe with a hex editor an look for some html code. If you find some, u can be lucky.
