Dump Windev 27
Once the base address of the WinDev virtual machine memory is found (e.g., 0x2A00000 size 0x500000):
import ctypes
from ctypes import wintypes
Several ETL tools support HFSQL:
Example using a command-line dumper (if available):
hfdump.exe source.fic output.csv /format=csv /delimiter=";"
But note: PC SOFT does not officially publish a generic dump utility. Many teams write small Windev 27 applications with code like: dump windev 27
sTableName is string = "CUSTOMER"
sFile is string = "CUSTOMER.FIC"
HReadFirst(sFile)
WHILE NOT HOut(sFile)
// Build a CSV line
Loop over columns
csvLine = csvLine + TAB + HGetColumnValue()
END
Write to file
HReadNext(sFile)
END
Compile this as a temporary export tool.

Key Features of WinDev 27
Goal: Extract decrypted data, runtime variables, or HFSQL pages.
Tools:
Command example (WinDbg):
windbg -pn MyWindevApp.exe
