Command Line Operation

Script Encoder Plus can run from the Windows command line without involving its graphic user interface (or GUI.) You can also use command line parameters to perform batch conversions of multiple scripts at once.

Specially designed ScrEnc.exe module, that is available in the main download package, can be used for a true command line experience:

To evoke Script Encoder Plus from command line run it using the following syntax:

SCRENC [Parameters]

Legacy Parameters

The following legacy parameters are supported:

/run [/s] [/f] [/xl] [/l defLanguage] [/e defExtension] inputfile outputfile

NOTE: Default values for parameters from the description below will be used if none are specified.

• /?

  Show help window.

• /run

  Must be specified to use any of these command line parameters.

  INFO: This parameter can be omitted if command line call is done via the screnc.exe module. It is required only when command line parameters are invoked via the screncgui.exe module.

• /s

  Do silent conversion, or don't show status window (Default is not to be silent).

  INFO: Keep in mind that conversion of multiple files may take a longer time.

• /f

  Force overwrite input file(s).

  If <outputfile> is not used, <inputfile> will be used as output.
  Default is not to overwrite files.
  WARNING: This option will make Script Encoder Plus overwrite the source file(s) specified by the <inputfile> parameter without a prompt!
  This option cannot be used along with the /isf parameter for safety reasons.

• /xl

  [Deprecated] This flag is not used. The @language directive is added only when needed.

• /l ScriptLanguage

  Default language to be used if none were specified in an HTML/ASP file. (Example: <ScriptLanguage> could be "VBScript", "JScript".)
  Default: None

• /l=ScriptLanguage

  Same as the /l parameter described above.

• /e DefaultExtension

  Associate input file(s) with a specific file type.

  <DefaultExtension> could be: asa, asp, htm, js, vbs
  Default: None
  Do not specify this parameter if you want the script type to be determined automatically by the input file(s) extensions.
  (This parameter overrides the /tp parameter.)

• /e=DefaultExtension

  Same as the /e parameter described above.

• <inputfile>

  The file(s) to convert. This parameter is mandatory and must specify files only.

  • It can contain a relative, absolute or a network path.
  • If file name/path contains spaces, enclose it into double-quotation marks. (Example: "My file.htm")
  • To specify more than one file, separate them with the | symbol. (Example: "file1.js|file2.htm")
  • It doesn't matter in what order you place this parameter, except that it has to be the first non-flag one. Make sure that this parameter doesn't follow any of the legacy flags: /l or /e.
  • The file name(s) may contain the following wildcards:
  • * - for any match (Example: "*.js" will match all files with the JS extension)
  • ? - for a single character match (Example: "file.htm?" will match files such as "file.htm" and "file.html")
• <outputfile>

  The destination location.

  • This parameter is mandatory if /f is not specified.
  • It can contain a relative, absolute or a network path.
  • When <inputfile> specifies more than a single file (by using the | symbol, or by containing wildcards) <outputfile> is interpreted as a folder, and all converted files will be placed into it and will retain their names.
  • If this name/path contains spaces, enclose it into double-quotation marks. (Example: "My folder")
  • If it specifies a folder and it doesn't exist the /cf parameter must be used to create it automatically.
  • If <outputfile> refers to the same location as <inputfile> the /f parameter must be used. In this case the /isf parameter cannot be used for safety reasons.
  • It doesn't matter in what order you place this parameter, except that it has to be the second non-flag one. Make sure that this parameter doesn't follow any of the legacy flags: /l or /e.

INFO: Deauthorize your copy of the Script Encoder Plus only if you're moving it to another computer or to a different Windows user account. INFO: When running Script Encoder Plus on the ASP/IIS/Windows server make sure to obtain and register the appropriate number of development licenses. Keep in mind that the afore-mentioned servers may run the Script Encoder Plus from under several different Windows user accounts, each of which requires a separate registration.

Additional Information

• NOTE 1: Spaces serve as separators between parameters in the command line. In case you need to include spaces in a parameter's value, enclose it into double-quotation marks:

  Example: /uid="File 1"

• NOTE 2: In case you need to include special characters in a parameter's value, escape them with the '\' symbol:

  Example: /uid="\"a\"\\b", will set UID to "a"\b

  IMPORTANT: In case of specifying a folder, make sure not to include the last slash:

  Example: "C:\My folder\" will treat the last slash as an escape sequence for the double-quote.
  Use "C:\My folder", or "C:\My folder\\" instead.

• NOTE 3: It is not recommended to use command lines longer than 256 symbols (including the path for the "screnc" itself).

  To specify a longer command line save it in a text file and use the following syntax to run it:
  (When used with the '::' or '*::' syntax, no other command line parameters should be used when calling "screnc".)

  Examples:

  • screnc ::"Path"

    Will read the command line from a file specified by "Path"

    Example: screnc ::"external commands.txt"

    The format of the external command line is the same as described here, except that line breaks are interpreted as spaces.

  • screnc *::"Path"

    Will read the command line from a file specified by "Path" and delete that file when done.

    Example: screnc *::"temp external commands.txt")

    The format of the external command line is the same as described above, except that the line breaks are interpreted as spaces.

Report File Layout

• This report is generated only if /rpt parameter was used.
• If this data is saved in a file, the ANSI format is used.

SC_RMD: <Number>	Number of semicolons removed from the script. (For HTML/ASP file this is a total number for all script blocks.)
RESULT MSG:
<Message>	Human readable message signifying the result of conversion. If present, the <Message> will be placed on the next line after the 'RESULT MSG:' tag. The <Message> can be empty if conversion completed successfully. The <Message> may be preceded by 'WARNING:', 'ERROR:', etc. It normally has a direct correlation to the code reported in the 'STAT:' tag.
	After the last converted file:
Operation(s) Results:	Delimits the end of the conversion process.
CONV_OK: <Number>	Number of files converted successfully.
ERRORS: <Number>	Number of errors that occurred during conversion. (Errors normally mean that conversion was aborted for that number of files.)

RESULT CODE: 0x<Code>	Overall result code for the conversion process: This value should be evaluated along with result codes for each converted file if appropriate bits are set for the positive result codes (see below). This value will be returned from the screnc.exe module to a calling process. The code value is presented as a hexadecimal number, preceded by '0x'. In case of a positive value, only lower 16 bits are used for the code: 0 - Success. 1 - No suitable files found for conversion. 2 - Quit after a registration attempt. Bits 17 through 20 may be set individually in case of the following: 17bit - (0x10000) set if at least one error occurred while converting files. 18bit - (0x20000) set if at least one warning occurred while converting files. 19bit - (0x40000) set if at least one syntax error occurred while converting files. In case of a negative value, the whole value is used for the code: -1 = error, no input file was specified for conversion. -2 = error, no output file was specified for conversion. -3 = error, invalid parameters. -4 = error, cannot enumerate requested input files. -5 = error, operation aborted by user. -6 = error, internal error. -7 = error, the <source> and <destination> cannot refer to the same folder when /ISF parameter is used. -8 = error, could not open the external command line file. -9 = error, could not parse the external command line file. -10 = error, could not save report in a specified file. -11 = error, could not parse the Shell command line. -128 = error, another instance of the Script Encoder Plus was running in unregistered version. -129 = error, too many instances of the Script Encoder Plus were running. -130 = error, cannot start in non-interactive desktop without command line parameters. -131 = error, corrupted data in protected memory file, can't start. -132 = error, failed to load protected memory file, can't start. -133 = error, too many Windows user accounts running Script Encoder Plus with the same license. -134 = error - general malfunction (used when called Script Encoder Plus from screncc.exe console module.) -135 = error, failed to start screnc.exe (used when called Script Encoder Plus from screncc.exe console module.) -136 = error, wrong version of the screnc.exe module (used when called Script Encoder Plus from screncc.exe console module.)

INFORMATION: Although Script Encoder Plus has support for many international code pages you might not be able to use all of them by default as some of them might not be installed on your system. To check code pages installed in your Operating System go to Control Panel, and then to Regional and Language Options.

Deprecated Command Line Parameters

Are no longer supported.

Examples of Using Command Line Parameters

The following are examples of using Script Encoder Plus via command line calls:

1. Encode "test.htm" into "encode.htm" using Windows Script Encoder method.

   screnc /run test.htm encode.htm

2. Encode "test.html" using Windows Script Encoder method and overwrite it.

   screnc /run /f test.htm

3. Treat "text.txt" as an HTML file, and encode it into "text1.txt" using Windows Script Encoder method.

   screnc /run /e html test.txt test1.txt

4. Encode "test.asp" into "c:\myDir\test.asp" using Windows Script Encoder method.

   screnc /run test.asp "c:\myDir\test.asp"

5. Encode all ASP files in the current folder using Windows Script Encoder method and place them into "C:\Users\John Doe\Documents\Test" folder.

   screnc /run "*.asp" "C:\Users\John Doe\Documents\Test"

6. Scramble all JavaScript and VBScript files in the current folder with minimum scrambling options and overwrite them. No status window is displayed, and Windows Script Encoder method is not used.

   screnc -run -s -f "*.js|*.vbs" /op=s /sct=""

7. (Available in Premium Version only) Organize ALL the files in the current folder as ASP files. Place them into "C:\Users\John Doe\Documents\Test" folder.

   screnc -run -e asp *.* "C:\Users\John Doe\Documents\Test" /op=o

8. Encode all the files with .inc extension as ASP files. Do not add the @LANGUAGE directive at the top of each file. Place the results into "C:\Users\John Doe\Documents\Test" folder.

   screnc -run -e asp -xl "*.inc" "C:\Users\John Doe\Documents\Test"

9. Encode "test.html" into "encode.html". When a script tag with no language attribute is found, VBScript is assumed to be the default language.

   screnc -run -l vbscript test.html encode.html

10. Compact all HTML files in the current folder by scrambling them with minimum settings (only adding and removing of extra semicolons is required, do not escape non-ASCII characters). Save results with UTF-8 file encoding into "Compacted HTML" folder. Use only Line Feeds at the end of each line while saving files. Generate on-screen report.

    screnc /run /op=s /lf=l /htm="" /sct=ar /xtr="" /fe=utf-8 /rpt "*.htm?" "Compacted HTML"

11. Scramble all the .htm files in the "C:\Users\John Doe\Documents" folder (including subfolders) and place the results into "C:\Users\John Doe\Documents\Test" folder. Use the following options: Escape HTML tags, escape HTML text, use random escaping, keep HTML comment tags, allow scrambling of URLs in the HTML, with the use of short escape sequences. Also escape quotes and code at random in the JavaScript blocks, add missing semicolons. Set the random escaping threshold to 6 (middle value). Encode the result using Windows Script Encoder method.

    screnc /run /op=s /htm=gtmcux /sct=qcmae /ret=6 "C:\Users\John Doe\Documents\*.htm" "C:\Users\John Doe\Documents\Test" /isf

12. Rewrite each file with the .js, .jse, .vbs, .vbe, etc. extension in the current folder with the "Central European (Windows)" code page. Do not perform encoding with the Windows Script Encoder method. Generate on-screen report to see the results.

    screnc /run /cp="windows-1250" /f "*.js?|*.vb?" /rpt /sct-=e

13. Encode all HTML, ASP and JavaScript files in the current folder and place the results into "Test" folder. Apply Windows Script Encoder method only to the HTML and ASP script blocks with the JavaScript, JavaScript1.2, or JavaScript1.3 language tag. Do the "all-inclusive conversion" to update all <script> tags within HTML and ASP pages if corresponding .JS file was encoded. Generate a report in the "C:\Users\John Doe\Documents\results.txt" file, and use ID equal to 1 in it.

    screnc /run /op=s /awse="JavaScript, JavaScript1.2, JavaScript1.3" /htm=a /uid="1" /rpt="C:\Users\John Doe\Documents\results.txt" "*.htm?|*.asp|*.js" Test

14. Scramble all VBScript files in the current folder by doing random capping and adding end-line colons. Then encode the result using the Windows Script Encoder method. Create "c:\My folder\VB files\Encoded" folder and save resulting files into it after changing the file extensions to reflect the encoding.

    screnc /run /op=s /tp=v /lf=c /sct=mau "*.vbs" "c:\My folder\VB files\Encoded" /cf

15. Scramble and encode the "test.htm" file in the current folder with the maximum scrambling options on and save it as "test_scrambled.htm" file:

    screnc /run /op=s /htm+=gt /sct+=qcaru "test.htm" "test_scrambled.htm"

16. Remove comments from all JavaScript and VBScript files with .js and .vbs extensions from two folders (excluding their subfolders), place results into "C:\path-to\folder-to-receive-files" folder. Use Microsoft-specific Line Feed & Carriage Return at the end of each line

    screnc /run /op=rc /lf=c "C:\path-to\folder-with-js-files\*.js|C:\path-to\folder-with-vbs-files\*.vbs" "C:\Path-to\folder-to-receive-files"

17. Remove comments from all JavaScript files with .js extension from a folder (excluding its subfolders), place results into "C:\path-to\folder-to-receive-files" folder. Use Linux-specific Line Feeds at the end of each line.

    screnc /run /op=rc /lf=l "C:\path-to\folder-with-js-files\*.js" "C:\path-to\folder-to-receive-js-files"

18. Remove comments from all .c, .cpp, and .h files in the current folder (including all subfolders), treat these files as C++/MFC files and place results into "C:\Users\John Doe\Documents\Test C++" folder. Use Microsoft-specific Line Feed & Carriage Return at the end of each line.

    screnc /run /op=rc /tp=m /lf=c /isf "*.c|*.cpp|*.h" "C:\Users\John Doe\Documents\Test C++"

19. (Available in Premium Version only.) Organize all HTML and ASP files in the "C:\My files" folder, make sure not to use comment tags on script blocks within them though. Include all subfolders as well, and place the results into the "C:\My files\Converted Files\Organized" folder (note that this folder must exist before the conversion).

    screnc /run /op=o /htm-=s "C:\My files\*.htm?|C:\My files\*.asp" "C:\My files\Converted Files\Organized" /isf
