StOngeCompany Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Hi AutoIT Forums, I'm trying to write a script that will scan a directory for .accdb files and zip them. Here is what I have: $directory = InputBox ("Directory", "Please enter the directory.") $scan = FileFindFirstFile($directory & "\" & "*.accdb") If $scan = -1 Then MsgBox(0, "Error", "There are no databases in that directory.") Exit EndIf While 1 Local $file = FileFindNextFile($scan) If @error Then ExitLoop RunWait('Winzip32.exe -a "'$directory & "\" & $file'" "'$directory & "\" & $file'"') WEnd FileClose($scan) The script is able to locate all of the .accdb files in a given directory, I'm just stuck on how I can get the RunWait command to recognize variables. For example, this code works: RunWait('Winzip32.exe -a "C:\Users\dberndt\Desktop\Test\Database1.zip" "C:\Users\dberndt\Desktop\Test\Database1.accdb"') But this does not: RunWait('Winzip32.exe -a "'$directory & "\" & $file'" "'$directory & "\" & $file'"') Any help would be very much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your time and kindness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StOngeCompany Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Thank you very much, water, it appears that syntax is correct. However, I have one more hurdle to jump. When I run the script, I get an error from WinZip: Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive. I think I need to differentiate between the .zip and the .accdb. I tried the following code with no luck: RunWait('Winzip32.exe -a "' & $directory & '' & $file & '.accdb' '" "' & $directory & '' & $file & '.zip' '"') If anyone has any suggestions, I'd be very grateful.

water Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 FielFindNextFile returns a filename including extension e.g. test.accdb. You need to strip off the filename and then can add ".zip" to it.
