-# wUpdateVersion
+# wUpdateVersion
+
+Программа для автоматического обновления номера версии компилируемого приложения.
+
+_**Файл ресурсов должен быть в ANSI или UTF-8 кодировке.**_
+
+
+## Назначение программы ##
+`wUpdateVersion` служит для автоматического обновления версии разрабатываемого приложения перед этапом компиляции в среде разработки Microsoft Visual Studio. Программа извлекает значение версии из файла, содержащего макрос или определение `APP_VERSION`, и записывает эту версию в блок `VERSIONINFO` файла ресурсов.
+
+## Что делает программа? ##
+
+1. Извлекает версию приложения из заданного файла (*например `version.h`*), содержащего строку вида `#define APP_VERSION "X.Y.Z.W"`.
+
+2. Обновляет в указанном файле ресурсов (*например `resources.rc`*) блок `VERSIONINFO`, содержащий строки `FileVersion` и `ProductVersion`, соответственно.
+
+## Параметры запуска ##
+
+Запускайте программу командой в консоли:
+
+```bash
+path\to\wUpdateVersion.exe arg1 arg2
+```
+Параметры:
+
+`path\to\wUpdateVersion.exe`: Полный путь к программе.
+
+`arg1`: Путь к файлу, содержащему определение версии (`version.h`).
+
+`arg2`: Путь к файлу ресурсов (`resources.rc`).
+
+Например:
+
+```bash
+C:\Utils\wUpdateVersion.exe C:\Project\version.h C:\Project\resources.rc
+```
+
+## Автоматизация запуска программы перед сборкой проекта ##
+
+Вы можете добавить вызов программы в качестве предкомпиляционного шага в проекте Microsoft Visual Studio, выполнив следующие шаги:
+
+1. Щёлкните правой кнопкой мыши по проекту в Solution Explorer и выберите пункт Properties.
+
+2. Перейдите на вкладку Build Events, раздел Pre-Build Event, Command Line.
+
+3. Добавьте туда следующий код:
+```bash
+"$(SolutionDir)wUpdateVersion.exe" "$(ProjectDir)version.h" "$(ProjectDir)resources.rc"
+```
+> *В данном примере программа `wUpdateVersion.exe` находится в папке решения, а файлы `version.h` и `resources.rc` - в папке проекта.*
+
+4. Обновите определение макроса `APP_VERSION` в файле `version.h` (Например `APP_VERSION "1.0"` -> `APP_VERSION "1.1"`).
+
+Таким образом, каждый раз перед компиляцией проекта версия программы будет автоматически обновляться.

+
+# wUpdateVersion
+
+A program for automatically updating the version number of a compiled application.
+
+_**The resource file must be in ANSI or UTF-8 encoding.**_
+
+## Purpose of the Program ##
+`wUpdateVersion` is used to automatically update the version of an application being developed before compilation in the Microsoft Visual Studio development environment. The program extracts the version value from a file containing the `APP_VERSION` macro or definition and writes this version to the `VERSIONINFO` block of the resource file.
+
+## What does the program do? ##
+
+1. Extracts the application version from the specified file (*e.g. `version.h`*) containing the string `#define APP_VERSION "X.Y.Z.W"`.
+
+2. Updates the `VERSIONINFO` block in the specified resource file (*e.g. `resources.rc`*), containing the strings `FileVersion` and `ProductVersion`, respectively.
+
+## Launch Parameters ##
+
+Run the program with the following command in the console:
+
+```bash
+path\to\wUpdateVersion.exe arg1 arg2
+```
+Parameters:
+
+`path\to\wUpdateVersion.exe`: Full path to the program.
+
+`arg1`: Path to the file containing the version definition (`version.h`).
+
+`arg2`: Path to the resource file (`resources.rc`).
+
+For example:
+
+```bash
+C:\Utils\wUpdateVersion.exe C:\Project\version.h C:\Project\resources.rc
+```
+
+## Automating Program Launch Before Building the Project ##
+
+You can add a program call as a pre-compile step in a Microsoft Visual Studio project by following these steps:
+
+1. Right-click the project in Solution Explorer and select Properties.
+
+2. Go to the Build Events tab, Pre-Build Event section, Command Line.
+
+3. Add the following code:
+```bash
+"$(SolutionDir)wUpdateVersion.exe" "$(ProjectDir)version.h" "$(ProjectDir)resources.rc"
+```
+> *In this example, the `wUpdateVersion.exe` program is located in the solution folder, and the `version.h` and `resources.rc` files are in the project folder.*
+
+4. Update the `APP_VERSION` macro definition in the `version.h` file (e.g. `APP_VERSION "1.0"` -> `APP_VERSION "1.1"`).
+
+This way, the program version will be automatically updated each time the project is compiled.
