zipping file directory thru CMD - (Moved)

[BlackSnoww]

Hello Good day everyone!

i just current started autoIt few months ago and this is my first post

been try this script to work for sometime now and i could not.

Basically it just makes a copy if a directory and zip with and name the file based on the date and time it happened.

 

$date = StringReplace($date, "/", "-")
Local $DateTime = $date &" "& $time

Local $test = String ($DateTime)

$loc = "C:\Users\localuser\Desktop\Pinnger\" 
$to = "C:\Users\localuser\Desktop\hehehe\"

$try = $to &" "& $test
$try = String($try)

Run(@ComSpec &  ' /k ""%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\Rar.exe" a -ep1 -r -y "'&$try&'" "'&$loc&'" "',"", @SW_MAXIMIZE)

and it gives the error in the image i attached

Hi @BlackWidow, and welcome to the AutoIt forums 
The error is in the $time variable; you should replace ":" with "", because in the filename there can't be : characters.
P.S.: Next time, post your question in AutoIt General Help and Support forum
