PE.write(filename) can't write the resource strings to file #31

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Load the file
2. alone PE.DIRECTORY_ENTRY_RESOURCE to find the string
3. change the sting from entry: *.directory.strings[0]
4. pe.write(filename)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
the resource should be changed according the write()'s __doc__
but nothing happends

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
the lastest version:pefile-1.2.10-107

Is pefile unable to do such a thing or I missed some key point?

pefile should be able to write modifed strings for the VS_VERSIONINFO entry in 
the resources, not necessarily for others. It still could be achieved by 
looking up the actual address where the resource data is modified and writing 
the corresponding data into the strings. The modified strings will always have 
to be the same length or shorter in order to keep the file structure in place.
