Convert from what?

Maybe Winrar ?

[Bert]

You would need to use WinRAR. It supports command line and graphic interface

If you search these forums for "winrar" you'll find script examples, such as:

WinWaitClose dosen't work [sOLVED], Wanted script to wait until WinRAR was done archiving. [sOLVED]

[Wollf]

Oh my bad.

How bout you try something (actually a few things)?

Try work out what files are needed by winrar to run.

Search the forums for your answer.

i tried to rar something but i don exactly know how this command works so i need if anyone has time to describe me how this works since with examples it isnt very easy to understand and help file doesnt give many thing about that command

i moved winrar folder at scriptdir too

#include <Process.au3>
_RunDOS ('"'&@scriptDir & '\WinRAR\Rar.exe" a '&'"'&@scriptDir & '\1.rar" ' & '"'& @scriptDir & '\01.txt"')

[junkew]

type rar -? on the commandline and you will see the optins

Otherwise check in google

[Varian]

example:

RunWait('"' & @scriptDir & '\WinRAR\Rar.exe" a "' & @scriptDir & '\1.rar" "' & @scriptDir & '\01.txt"', @Scriptdir & '\WinRAR', @SW_HIDE)

<command> -<switch 1> -<switch N> <archive> <files...> <@listfiles...> <path_to_extract\>\

RunWait('"' & @scriptDir & '\WinRAR\Rar.exe" a "' & @scriptDir & '\1.rar" "', @Scriptdir & '\rardirectory', @SW_HIDE)

some questions

whats the '"' at start,

also where we put those " or ' and why

the @scriptDir & '\WinRAR\Rar.exe" is for the use to rar the file

a is for add

"' & @scriptDir & '\1.rar" "' that is the file we want to rar

@Scriptdir & '\rardirectory' is where to put the file after it is rar?

do i need always need #include <Process.au3>

i tried use that but it didnt worked well

#include <Process.au3>
RunWait('"' & @scriptDir & '\WinRAR\Rar.exe" a "' & @scriptDir & '\1.txt" "', @Scriptdir & '\rardirectory', @SW_HIDE)

But isn't it

-<Command>

See the '-'?

Try that.

Cheers,

Brett

EDIT:

The rest of your question can be answered by SEARCHING for it. Something so far you have failed to do. Still.

with search i mostly find examples that doesnt really say to me anything since they are more complicated, but couldnt found any place topic that says how exactly rar works with any example

also what command i use to rar files?

i mean command here '"'

IMHO - You need to analyze what you want to do, look at the WinRAR help - specifically command line usage. Familiarize yourself with using WinRAR from the Console (DOS Prompt) and then come back with questions.

Don't take this the wrong way, but we have tried over and over to point you where you need to go. The RAR helpfile which is text base is not hard to understand. The links that have provided to you are also not hard to understand. I'm not calling you stupid by any means, but your repeating request to have it explained to you strongly suggest you do not have the brain power to understand basic computer concepts. If we are incorrect in this assumption, then put some effort forth, try to wrap your mind around this basic stuff and prove us wrong. If you wine and complain that I'm being harsh, then you will be validating our assumptions about you being not able to understand simple computer concepts.

I would really like for you to prove us wrong. I suspect you have more ability than you think. In saying that, review and do the following:

I strongly suggest you EXPERIMENT with everything you have been shown. Try things. If it doesn't work, TRY AGAIN. Then TRY AGAIN. Start simple, and and add one thing to see what happens. This is what most of us do when we learn new computer stuff and not quite get it right away.

Try will you?
