Zipping folders!

[Guest richw]

Hi,

I've written the following code to zip up my thunderbird email directory. I'm using 7-zip command line app from www.7-zip.org

$Filename = @UserName & ".7z "
$Dir = @UserProfileDir & "\Application Data\Thunderbird\"


Run(@comspec & " /c 7za.exe a " & $Filename & $Dir)

The only problem is there is spaces in the path so I need to use the command like this:

7za.exe a richardw.7z "c:\Documents and Settings\richardw\Application Data\Thunderbird"

So is there anyway I can add the " " around $Dir variable or should I be looking at another way?

7za.exe a richardw.7z "c:\Documents and Settings\richardw\Application Data\Thunderbird"

Try this out for size (also includes a space between the filename and the directory now):

run(@comSpec & ' /c 7za.exe a "' & $filename & '" "' & $dir & '"')
