I know I am missing something easy...

Hello all,

Trying to get a dos command running using @ComSpec and not having alot of success. Script is simply to archive a directory once a day and restore from the archive if needed. I can unarchive the dir just fine, but can't get the archiving to work. The dos command is:

c:\7-Zip\7za.exe a -t7z c:\Test.7z "c:\Program Files\TestDir\*"

I can't figure out how to send the part with the quotation marks through @ComSpec.

Any help would be appreciated,

JPC

'c:\7-Zip\7za.exe a -t7z c:\Test.7z "c:\Program Files\TestDir\*"'

You use single quotes for the outside and double quotes inside as needed.

Hi Matt,

How did I know you'd be along shortly to bail me out?

I had tried that, but apparently had a typo in it because my version did not work, but now it works just fine. Go figure...

Thanks again,
