Here's the command line switches for unzip32.exe
| Quote: |
UnZip 5.42 of 14 January 2001, by Info-ZIP. Maintained by C. Spieler. Send
bug reports to the authors at Zip-Bugs@lists.wku.edu; see README for details.
Usage: unzip32 [-Z] [-opts[modifiers]] file[.zip] [list] [-x xlist] [-d exdir]
Default action is to extract files in list, except those in xlist, to exdir;
file[.zip] may be a wildcard. -Z => ZipInfo mode ("unzip -Z" for usage).
-p extract files to pipe, no messages -l list files (short format)
-f freshen existing files, create none -t test compressed archive data
-u update files, create if necessary -z display archive comment
-x exclude files that follow (in xlist) -d extract files into exdir
modifiers: -q quiet mode (-qq => quieter)
-n never overwrite existing files -a auto-convert any text files
-o overwrite files WITHOUT prompting -aa treat ALL files as text
-j junk paths (do not make directories) -v be verbose/print version info
-C match filenames case-insensitively -L make (some) names lowercase
-$ label removables (-$$ => fixed disks) -V retain VMS version numbers
-X restore ACLs (-XX => use privileges) -s spaces in filenames => '_'
-M pipe through "more" pager
Examples (see unzip.txt for more info):
unzip32 data1 -x joe => extract all files except joe from zipfile data1.zip
unzip32 -fo foo ReadMe => quietly replace existing ReadMe if archive file newer

And here's how to build a comma delimited string from a list box contents:
| Code: |
list create,1
list loadtext,1
"Item 1
"Item 2
"Item 3
"Item 4
"Item 5
"Item 6
"Item 7
"Item 8
"Item 9
%x = 0
%%outStr =
rem METHOD ONE
repeat
%I = @item(1,%x)
%%outStr = %%outStr%I@chr(44)
%x = @succ(%x)
until @equal(%x,@count(1))
rem trim off the extra comma
%%outStr = @substr(%%outStr,1,-1)
info %%outStr
rem METHOD TWO
%%outStr = @text(1)
repeat
%P = @pos(@cr(),%%outStr)
if @greater(%P,0)
%%outStr = @strdel(%%outStr,%P)
%%outStr = @strins(%%outStr,%P,@chr(44))
end
until @zero(%P)
rem trim off the extra comma
%%outStr = @strdel(%%outStr,1,-1)
info %%outStr
list close,1
exit

he used it with out having any problems or without using commad com..
bweckel that /c seemed to work BUT i know xp uses a diff commad so will this work on xp? and i can't find any info on that unzip can you unzip it to a folder you want? or does it unzip to the current and you can't chnage it.......
thanks |
Why do you need to use command.com (or cmd.exe)? That's using VDS to run a program to run another program. It's an extra unnecessary level. The only reason for using a command shell is if you need to redirect standard output to a file, so you can load the file back into VDS and see what happened with the program. But there is no need to do this with zip.exe because it givea a return code that you can test to see if it worked or failed.

the reason why is because that zip.exe is not exiting when its done making vds "wait"

First of all, zip.exe isn't making VDS wait, VDS is waiting for zip.exe to
finish doing its task.
And are you checking for @retcode() for the error
code returned by zip.exe? If it isn't zero, then there is some other kind of
problem, which from my experience with console apps, the error code
denotes a particular error that is either documented in the documentation
or that can be sent to the apps author to verify the problem.

After calling %%files = @filedlg(%%filter,Open,,MULTI), assign the
variable to a string list, list assign,1,%%files then use one of the
methods that I posted earlier to build your comma delimited string.

Without a little more of your working code, it's too hard to tell exacly what
is going wrong Tim.

i think i must not have the commad right for zip.exe to added files
here is what i have for vds code
| Code: |
%%Fest = @filedlg("All Files (*.*)|*.*",Add File,c:\dishhelp\*.*,MULTI)
LIST CREATE,1
LIST ASSIGN,1,%%fest
%x = 0
%%outStr =
repeat
%I = @item(1,%x)
%%outStr = %%outStr%I@chr(44)
%x = @succ(%x)
until @equal(%x,@count(1))
%%outStr = @substr(%%outStr,1,-1)
info %%outStr
LIST SAVEFILE,1,@path(%0)include.lst
|
note this just makes a file called include.1st which holds the paths of the file names that i want zip.exe to include. I was only trying to find the problem once i find out i will just do a run commad instead..
then i would runa bat file that had this in there
COMMAND.COM /c zip -r c:\test\test.zip -i@include.txt
then i would get that zip error ( that i posted above)
thanks

The '@' symbol denotes a list file to zip.exe. Instead of saving a comma
delimited string to the .1st file, you just need to save the list contents as
they are in the list normally. Then call zip.exe with the'-i@include.1st'
switch and see what happens.
