jvervloet's Journal: Delphi: convert binary dfm files to text

I `inherited' some old Delphi 5 code, of which the forms were defined using binary dfm files. These files are not very suitable for version controle, so I converted them to text using this cygwin script:

for file in *.dfm;
do
/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Borland/Delphi5/bin/convert.exe $file;
mv `basename $file .dfm`.txt $file;
done

Even better...

for file in *.dfm;
do
/cygdrive/c/Program\ Files/Borland/Delphi5/bin/convert.exe -t -i $file;
done
