How to extract Delphi hard-coded strings from source code to resources

Lingobit Extractor is a straightforward tool to extract hard-coded strings from Delphi and Pascal applications. It allows you to use two approaches to store resource strings:

• Using Delphi Resource String Unit (recommended)
• Using Windows Resource Script (.RC) files

When you are using first approach, all strings are replaced with a name of variable, that will be extracted into resource unit. Resource unit uses ResourceString keyword that tells Delphi compiler to store strings into resource file.

Unit AppResources;
Interface
Resourcestring
  String1 = 'Hello!';
Implementation
End.

Second approach allows you to extract string directly to RC file.

Step by Step

1. Create Extractor project
2. Add source code files into Extractor project
3. Review hard-coded string list and select which strings should be extracted and which should be skipped.
4. Save all files
