The Avenger

Script Tutorial

The core of The Avenger is its script-processing functionality. As a result, I must discuss the syntax used in Avenger scripts.

• An Avenger script is composed of lines of plain text, containing one command per line.

• There are 12 command directives currently that The Avenger recognizes. They are:

  1. Comment:
  2. Files to delete:
  3. Files to replace with dummy:
  4. Files to move:
  5. Folders to delete:
  6. Registry keys to delete:
  7. Registry keys to replace with dummy:
  8. Registry values to delete:
  9. Registry values to replace with dummy:
  10. Programs to launch on reboot:
  11. Drivers to delete:
  12. Drivers to disable:

• After each command directive, lines containing operands follow. So for example if the first line of a script is the command directive "Files to delete:", the lines that follow will contain paths of files for The Avenger to delete, one file per line. This will continue either until the end of the script, or until a new command directive is read.
  
• Each line is treated separately, so lines should not be split or word-wrapped. Please note that your browser may word-wrap the text in this documentation automatically. Do not be fooled by this! The Avenger requires commands and operands to be on a single line each, no matter how long that line becomes.
  
• Blank lines and whitespace are ignored, including leading and trailing whitespace within lines.
• All commands are case insensitive.
• It is NOT guaranteed that script commands will be executed in order. Do not rely on this!

In the next section I will describe each command directive individually: its function, its syntax, and example usage.
