Contributor: SWAG SUPPORT TEAM { Here is a VERY simple source-code mangler that I just made. It simply: 1) Removes whitespace, 2) Removes comments (but not Compiler-directives!), 3) Makes everything upper-Case. 4) Make lines max. 127 Chars wide (max. For Turbo Pascal), 5) Doesn't mess up literal Strings :-) I don't imagine that this is anything Near perfect - but it's better than nothing... } Program Mangler; Const Alpha : Set of Char = ['a'..'z', 'A'..'Z', '0'..'9']; Var F, F2 : Text; R, S : String; X : Byte; InString : Boolean; Function NumChar(C : Char; S : String; Max : Byte) : Byte; Var N, Y : Byte; begin N := 0; For Y := 1 to Max do if S[Y] = C then Inc(N); NumChar := N; end; Function TrimF(T : String) : String; Var T2 : String; begin T2 := T; While (Length(T2) > 0) and (T2[1] = ' ') do Delete(T2, 1, 1); TrimF := T2; end; Function Trim(T : String) : String; Var T2 : String; begin T2 := TrimF(T); While (Length(T2) > 0) and (T2[Length(T2)] = ' ') do Delete(T2, Length(T2), 1); Trim := T2; end; Procedure StripComments(Var T : String); Var Y : Byte; Rem : Boolean; begin Rem := True; if Pos('(*', T) > 0 then begin For Y := Pos('(*', T) to Pos('*)', T) do if (T[Y] = '$') or (T[Y] = '''') then Rem := False; if (Rem) and (not Odd(NumChar('''', T, Pos('(*', T)))) then Delete(T, Pos('(*', T), Pos('*)', T)+2-Pos('(*', T)); end; if Pos('{', T) > 0 then begin For Y := Pos('{', T) to Pos('}', T) do if (T[Y] = '$') or (T[Y] = '''') then Rem := False; if (Rem) and (not Odd(NumChar('''', T, Pos('(*', T)))) then Delete(T, Pos('{', T), Pos('}', T)+1-Pos('{', T)); end; end; begin ReadLn(S); Assign(F, S); Reset(F); ReadLn(S); Assign(F2, S); ReWrite(F2); R := ''; S := ''; While not EoF(F) do begin ReadLn(F, R); StripComments(R); R := Trim(R); X := 1; While X <= Length(R) do begin InString := (R[X] = '''') xor InString; if not InString then begin if R[X] = #9 then R[X] := ' '; if ((R[X] = ' ') and (R[X+1] = ' ')) then begin Delete(R, X, 1); if X > 1 then Dec(X); end; if ((R[X] = ' ') and not(R[X+1] in Alpha)) then Delete(R, X, 1); if ((R[X+1] = ' ') and not(R[X] in Alpha)) then Delete(R, X+1, 1); R[X] := UpCase(R[X]); end; Inc(X); end; if (Length(R) > 0) and (R[Length(R)] <> ';') then R := R+' '; if Length(R)+Length(S) <= 127 then S := TrimF(S+R) else begin WriteLn(F2, Trim(S)); S := TrimF(R); end; end; WriteLn(F2, S); Close(F); Close(F2); end. { > 1) Remove whitespace.

No need.. see 4. 4. Convert all Types, Consts, and VarS to an encypted name, like so: IIl0lll1O0lI1 5. Convert all Procedures, and Functions like #4 6. On Objects, Convert all "data" fields. Leave alone all others except For the "ConstRUCtoR" and on that, only check to see if any Types are being used. Constructors are the only ones that can change from the ancestor. 7. on Records, When Typed like this: aRec.Name:='Rob Green'; check to see if arec is in the list, if not, skip. if like this: With arec do name:='Rob Green'; do the same as above, but check For begin and end. 8. Leave externals alone. 9. Also mangle the Includes. 10. Leave Any Interface part alone, and only work With the Implementation. This is what my mangler currently does.(all except For #7 and #10, havent got that Far yet.) Any ways it works pretty good. im happy With the results i am getting With it. It makes it "VERY" hard to read. The only thing i see having trouble With down the line, is the "Compressing" of mulitiple lines. Anyways, heres a small Program, and then what PAM(Pascal automatic mangler) did to it: } Program test; Type pstr30 = ^str30; str30 = String[30]; Var b : Byte; s : pstr30; Function hex(b : Byte) : String; Const Digits : Array [0..15] of Char = '0123456789ABCDEF'; Var s:String; begin s:=''; s[0] := #2; s[1] := Digits [b shr 4]; s[2] := Digits [b and $F]; hex:=s; end; begin new(s); s^:='Hello world'; Writeln(s^); Writeln('Enter a Byte to convert to hex:'); readln(b); s^:=hex(b); Writeln('Byte :',b,' = $',s^); dispose(s); end. Program test; Type IO1II0IO00O = ^II0lOl1011I; II0lOl1011I = String[30]; Var III0O1ll10l:Byte; I11110I11Il0:IO1II0IO00O; Function Il00O011IO0I(III0O1ll10l:Byte):String; Const Illl1OOOO0I : Array [0..15] of Char = '0123456789ABCDEF'; Var I11110I11Il0:String; begin I11110I11Il0:=''; I11110I11Il0[0] := #2; I11110I11Il0[1] := Illl1OOOO0I [III0O1ll10l shr 4]; I11110I11Il0[2] := Illl1OOOO0I [III0O1ll10l and $F]; Il00O011IO0I:=I11110I11Il0; end; begin new(I11110I11Il0); I11110I11Il0^:='Hello world'; Writeln(I11110I11Il0^); Writeln('Enter a Byte to convert to hex:'); readln(III0O1ll10l); I11110I11Il0^:=Il00O011IO0I(III0O1ll10l); Writeln('Byte :',III0O1ll10l,' = $',I11110I11Il0^); dispose(I11110I11Il0); end.
