volkerimmler Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 (edited) Does autoit support zipping up files? Or is there a way to call a DLL that supports the feature, like this one here: http://www.zbitinc.com/samples.asp?p=2or this one: http://www.hdse.org/activexzip/index.htmSorry for my ignorance - I am completely new to this and a little overwhelmed.....

If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blindwig Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 I don't know about ZIP specifically, but yes - you can make DLL calls. Check the DllCall() function if you can find a ZIP DLLIf you're looking for a free one, try Info-ZipI've never used it in Auto-It, but I use it on the command-line all the time My UDF Threads:Pseudo-Hash: Binary Trees, Flat TablesFiles: Filter by Attribute, Tree List, Recursive Find, Recursive Folders Size, exported to XMLArrays: Nested, Pull Common Elements, Display 2dSystem: Expand Environment Strings, List Drives, List USB DrivesMisc: Multi-Layer Progress Bars, Binary FlagsStrings: Find Char(s) in String, Find String in SetOther UDF Threads I Participated:Base64 Conversions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MHz Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 @ronsrules I certainly, do not understand what NSIS, has to do with AutoIt and zipping? @volkerimmler Since you are so new to AutoIt? Maybe you could describe breifly, of your intentions. This may result, in a better answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MHz Posted June 11, 2005 Share Posted June 11, 2005 Not sure if anyone has used a dll zipper yet?Seem to getting nowhere with Info-Zip.Just use a commandline archiver.A large list here.UHARC does very good compression, But there is plenty more to choose from. Perhaps something friendly, with zip in it's name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
