Converting script between PESE and XPE

Yeah, I guess I could have worded certain statements differently...
Although I thought I was encouraging Sandy to share for the sake of others...

Good,

sandy, as you see all waiting you share your work, even James. 

Better on a topic at Plugin section ( to avoid things ... )
http://theoven.org/index.php?board=9.0

So here is se2xpe.script.
Tested with newest 10XPE
It is very basic, and just a proof of concept.
I wrote it as a %GTools%\.script, so that we may call it from individual scripts with a few lines of code,
 it can be expanded and improved later.

Usage of se2xpe.script:
Add Non-XPE.script to %BaseDir%\Projects\MyPlugins\..\..\Non-XPE.script
     (Do not change name of script, "just an example")

Edit Non-XPE.script to include these lines immediately under [process].
Echo,".....Calling se2xpe.script",WARN
Set,%XScriptfile%,%ScriptFile%,Permanent
IniRead,%XScriptfile%,Main,Project,%XProject%
Run,%GTools%\se2xpe.script,Process

Also Edit Non-XPE.script to include next line.  (under main of Non-XPE.script)
Project=Win10XPE

Make your build, simple scripts will build without problems.
As I said, this is just proof of concept.

Not working Stuff:
Call, Needs "," removed             // Change Call, manually edit Call (NO , ), Until a fix is found
RegAddBoot Unrecognized command.    //Comment out until a fix is found.
Add_Shortcut changed to AddShortcut // not working

Before I proceed further, I wanted to see if there were any advice for Not Working Stuff, Short of Hackin' on the API.
It's working quite well, but I'm hoping someone has a more elegant solution.

Hi RoyM

good head start, but better share on another topic

I recently noticed posts deleted from " Project World » Win10XPE HomePage" section without a reason (and I can not see any reason) and I try to figure out what is happening.
- one thing I noticed, posts deleted are after a period of time and probably not noticed by the majority.  Not forum policy at all.

To keep info and continue, consider opening another topic like at plugin section.


Some tips I noticed on your codes:

In ADDITION to your codes:

*
Set,%Tools%,%GTools%,Permanent
should be working fine, ignore what is written at the log ;)
+
also better use a separate tools eg. copy Tools of Win10PESE to a folder and use something like
Set,%Tools%,%BaseDir%\Projects\Tools\Win10PESE,Permanent
this will get rest work ;)

*
adding Macro Library temporarly will get Require_FileQ, Require,FileList , Call lines operational (I guess after tools) and avoid Add_Shortcut lines fail

eg. (not tested, but this will quickly help I guess)

Set,%ReadConfig%,%ProjectDir%\script.project
Set,%api%,%ProjectDir%\Macro_Library.script,Permanent
//-
IniRead,%ReadConfig%,Variables,#$pGSource#$p,%t%
Call,SourceDirSet,%t%
IniRead,%ReadConfig%,Variables,#$pGTarget#$p,%t%
Call,TargetDirSet,%t%
IniRead,%ReadConfig%,Variables,#$pArchitecture#$p,%t%
Set,%SourceArch%,%t%,Permanent
IniRead,%ReadConfig%,Variables,#$pOS#$p,%t%
IniWrite,%ProjectDir%\Script.Project,IniVariables,OS,%t%
IniRead,%ReadConfig%,Variables,#$pGISO#$p,%t%
IniWrite,%ProjectDir%\Script.Project,IniVariables,TargetFinalDir,%t%
Set,%TargetProfilesBaseDir%,%TargetDir%,Permanent
Set,%TargetProfilesUserDir%,%TargetProfilesBaseDir%\Users\Default,Permanent
IniRead,%ReadConfig%,Features,WoW64basic,%t%
If,%t%,Equal,True,Set,%TargetWOW64%,x86,Permanent
Else,Set,%TargetWOW64%,%SourceArch%,Permanent
IniRead,%ReadConfig%,Variables,#$pLanguage#$p,%t%
Set,%DistLang%,%t%,Permanent
IniRead,%ReadConfig%,Variables,#$pImage#$p,%WIMIndex%
IniWrite,%ProjectDir%\script.project,IniVariables,WIMIndex,%WIMIndex%
IniRead,%ReadConfig%,Variables,#$pFallBackLanguage#$p,%FallBackLanguageVar%
StrFormat,Right,%FallBackLanguageVar%,1,%t%
If,%t%,Equal,|,StrFormat,RTRIM,%FallBackLanguageVar%,1,%FallBackLanguageVar%
StrFormat,Left,%FallBackLanguageVar%,1,%t%
If,%t%,Equal,|,StrFormat,LTRIM,%FallBackLanguageVar%,1,%FallBackLanguageVar%
Call,MuiLangSet,%FallBackLanguageVar%

after you use plugins, revert back to original condition with something like (maybe via a 2nd plugin at the end of plugins) starting with:
Set,%api%,%ProjectDir%\Macro.script,Permanent
IniWrite,%ProjectDir%\script.project,Variables,#$papi#$p,#$pProjectDir#$p\Macro.script



NOT tested, I quickly write codes from my old last year notes, they will give you a better head start after testing.

*
Set,%Add_Shortcut%,%AddShortcut%,Permanent
this line is wrong, see tips on one of my previous post.

It is quite easy to create Add_Shortcut macro when you follow tips and spend some time on testing,
 I guess sharp already did require work to get Add_Shortcut operational (I also did Add_Shortcut operational last year but could not find last year Add_Shortcut plugin around)
  ,not too hard, but requires time to test things and time...  See tips on previous posts.

Better continue this subject on another topic, we are a bit away from the topic subject.

Hi sharp,

Edit: sorry I mixed you with sandy 

After sandy and RoyM share their work and improve, hopefully, such a thing will end conversion related things.



@Sandy

also see this post: http://theoven.org/index.php?topic=2834.msg35012#msg35012

maybe you can write a "1903 support" plugin to get Win10PESE start working.

Also I hope you share your api which I guess 200 lines of codes will cover some other macros. 

as written previously, better on another topic.
http://theoven.org/index.php?board=9.0

hopefully, such work will end this "conversion" posts from different people, like the current topic and many posts. 

I  didn't see any new topic created...

Also Edit Non-XPE.script to include next line.  (under main of Non-XPE.script)
Project=Win10XPE

Make your build, simple scripts will build without problems.
As I said, this is just proof of concept.

Not working Stuff:
Call, Needs "," removed             // Change Call, manually edit Call (NO , ), Until a fix is found

You Can write your plugin to a text file and use command like

Code: [Select]

TXTReplace,%PluginFile%,"Call,Download,%ProvideFiles%","Download,%ProvideFiles%"
TXTReplace,%PluginFile%,Call#$cEcho,EchoExtended
TXTReplace,%TextFile%,Call#$cStart#$c#$c,Start#$c#$c

This replaces all occurrence of Call,Download in the text file with Download
Same with Call,Echo -----> EchoExtended

This is not API related and cause big problems, I tried to make converter from the work of another member here and it works very good with standard plugins but as soon as it gets more advanced syntax or dirty tricks and hacks in the code it wreak the plugin for good.

If you want to take a look it might inspire you....

I'm following this project for sure. I did not find any way to do that on the fly during build... At some point I thought to integrate completely the problematic commands and both could be used from any plugins... ex: Add_Shortcut and AddShortcut both with each their own syntax working...  feasible  but the darn Call, is forcing complete conversion for me at the moment.... and also sometimes I get generation of bogus sections because of god knows what. When trying to convert complex scripts and also the [AddFilesInfo] does not process properly and couple other intersting things...

But in the end, converted plugins are in not really XPE conform, even if they works.

I  didn't see any new topic created...
