zip

[bobheart]

I have 7z zip and trying to zip a folder with the command line but i can't seem to zip the folder ?

7za.exe a -tzip Profiles.zip Profiles

That would be a bat file as I know them better but I would like to do it in au3 if I can ?

How do you zip the folder and all folders under it with the files ?

From the help file .

a (Add) command

Adds files to archive.

Examples

7z a -tzip archive.zip subdir\*

adds all files from directory subdir to archive archive.zip.

7z a -tzip Files.zip "Program files\*" -r

adds all files from directory Program to archive Files.zip.

Switches that can be used with this command

-i (Include), -m (Method), -p (Set Password), -r (Recurse), -t (Type of archive), -u (Update), -w (Working Dir), -x (Exclude),

assuming that the executable is in the current folder or path:

Run(@comspec " /c 7za.exe a -tzip Profiles.zip Profiles")

should work.
