VBForums Visual Basic Visual Basic 6 and Earlier Command line Zipping - RESOLVED Feb 11th, 2005, 06:27 PM #1 Thread Starter Member Thread Starter--> Command line Zipping - RESOLVED Thanks dglienna and Rhinobull!!!!Is it possible to call a command line utility to uses winzip command line arguments with in VB. I am looking to zip the contents of certain folders and store that zip file in a different location.If this is possible can somehow help me out on how to call the command line program (prob cmd.exe) and then executing the winzip command line strings to zip. I want this all to happen in the background with out the user having to do anything besides just clicking a button.I am too confused to figure out what is happening in the other suggestions, hoping option this may be a bit easier.Any suggestions on what to do, or how to call and excute winzip's command line commands????????oobern Last edited by oobern; Feb 12th, 2005 at 03:18 PM.

Feb 11th, 2005, 07:53 PM #3 Thread Starter Member Thread Starter--> Re: Command line Zipping Does anyone know by chance, if you have to have the full version of winzip to use the command line utility, without winzip popping up. I would like to have everything done in the background. Below is what i am using for code:x = "\\servername\TEST TEMP ARCHIVE\Feb 2005.zip" y = "\\servername\TEMP FILES"Shell "C:\Program Files\WinZip\winzip32 -e -o " & y & " " & x & " "This keeps opening up the winzip program for me to manually zip things myself. Any suggestions how to do this in the background with winzip popping up?oobern Feb 11th, 2005, 08:03 PM #4 Re: Command line Zipping You could try to run it from a command line to try it. Your users would also need to have it to use your app, then. Feb 11th, 2005, 08:27 PM #5 Thread Starter Member Thread Starter--> Re: Command line Zipping This app will only be used on 2 different computers and both already have winzip and the add-ons installed, so that shouldn't have any problems.I have modified the code to use the addon for winzip for command line statements. I read to use wzzip.exe to do the unzips rather then winzip32.exe. I have

It running now so that it only runs in the background. But now it will not create the zip file in the correct directory,(actually doesn't create it at all anywhere). Shell "C:\Program Files\WinZip\wzzip.exe -e -o " & y & " " & x & " "y is the folder that has the files in that i want zippedz is the destination file for the created zip fileCould there be something wrong with the quotes in the Shell command? Feb 11th, 2005, 08:40 PM #6 Re: Command line Zipping Are they both shared folders? Feb 11th, 2005, 08:50 PM #7 Thread Starter Member Thread Starter--> Re: Command line Zipping Yes, i am working off of a network drive. Both folders(folder files are in and the archiving folder) are on the same server? I am not working off the the system drive (C . This should affect anything though(as far as i know) becuase both systems have winzip and the addons installed. Both installations on the 2 computers are installed in the exact same directory.i have 2 scenarios that i can go through i guess:1) using the winzip32.exe command - but this opens up the winzip program for me to manually zip, . This option doesn't create the zip file because i cancel it when winzip opens.and2) using the wzzip.exe command line program - this seems to run but there is no zip file tht is created. I sy it seems to run because i get no error when debugging the app. But, god knows - probably not even running for me. When i run the program with Task Manager to the side, there is never a new instance of winzip or even wzzip that is running?I am so confused, ready to forget about it, but then that would involve me manaully zipping about 1000 folders with each folder having about 1000 files in them. That will take forever to do, and would have to do it every month(last day).Any other suggestions people. Thanks in advance for everythingoobern Feb 11th, 2005, 08:57 PM #8 Re: Command line Zipping maybe you want to try a batch file, or saving one as a .cmd?

Have WZZIP in the same folder as Winzip32.I have WZQKPICK and WZSEP32. Wonder if that's the problem? Feb 11th, 2005, 09:11 PM #11 Thread Starter Member Thread Starter--> Re: Command line Zipping wzzip and wzunzip come with a download from Winzip to use with command lines. It is an add-on. I moved to wzzip because winzip32 kept opening up, where as , i want it to do everything in the background. I have searched the internet for some additional parameters/switches that Winzip utility would use(like hiding the window, rather then showing, etc, but can't find anything much on them except for the help file that comes with app. I am starting to wonder if it is because this is just the free version of winzip i am using, not the retail.Even if i used another form of compression to zip the files would work, as long as they can be opened in winzip down the road if need be.We are running windows 2000 so i can't integrate the zip utility that comes with XP. Any suggestions now what i can do, or even other suggestions for a different compression program to use?? I am stumped!!!!!!! Seemed to have tried everything except creating a batch file - but i have no idea where to start with theseoobern Feb 11th, 2005, 09:21 PM #12 Re: Command line Zipping Got it. One thing that I noticed is the -YBC flag.If you want to create a batch file, just enter the commands into a textfile, and save it with a cmd extension.First, turn off creating output. VB Code: @ECHO OFFC:\Program Files\WinZip\winzip32 -ybc -e -o \\servername\TEST TEMP ARCHIVE\Feb 2005.zip \\servername\TEMP FILESto see if it works. if it does, you can generate the cmd file on the fly and execute it. I'm going to try using shell to see if it works. Feb 11th, 2005, 09:25 PM #13 Re: Command line Zipping hmmm. this worked for me. it copied subfolder also: VB Code: Shell "C:\Program Files\WinZip\wzzip -ybc -e -o \\192.168.1.102\david\test*.* \test"going to change it to variables.nope. now to a batch file.

This is what i have now x = "\\servername\TEST TEMP ARCHIVE\Feb 2005.zip"

Was written in VB5.Let me know how my version works out, or more importantly, whether or not it does! Feb 11th, 2005, 10:15 PM #20 Thread Starter Member Thread Starter--> Re: Command line Zipping I tried running your code on the load event as well, but doesn't seem to be creating a zip. I may have things a little messed up on it though as i had to edit the paths. Here's what i have:Private Sub Form_Load() Dim ff As IntegerDim x As StringDim y As Stringx = "\\hal-davoxdb2\list process\NEW OBCF CREATOR\Program Files - Don't Delete\ARCHIVE Function\TEMP FILES\*.*"y = "\\hal-davoxdb2\list process\NEW OBCF CREATOR\Program Files - Don't Delete\ARCHIVE Function\TEST TEMP ARCHIVE\Feb 2005.zip"' Shell "cmd.exe C:\Program Files\WinZip\wzzip -ybc -e -o " & x & " " & yff = FreeFileOpen "\zip.cmd" For Output As #ffPrint #ff, "@Echo Off"Print #ff, """C:\Program Files\WinZip\wzzip -ybc -e -o ";Print #ff, x;Print #ff, " ";Print #ff, y & Chr(34);Close #ffShell "\zip.cmd"'Unload MeEnd Subwhere you declared what x and y were, thats where i am a little confused. Is x in your example the path to the folder where the files are, or is it the destination folder where the zip will be created. What should i change those values to? Feb 11th, 2005, 10:19 PM #21 Re: Command line Zipping I think that X is the where the files are, and y is where the zip file goes.It created the y on my machine from the command line.oops. it is wrong!wzzip [options] zipfile [@listfile] [files...] Last edited by dglienna; Feb 11th, 2005 at 10:40 PM.

If so, then it doesn't work - i probably screwed something else up. Does this work for you by any chance?It's getting late and starting to get tired, so my brain isn't working to well. I think i am gonna call it a night if i don't figure this out soon. Feb 11th, 2005, 10:41 PM #23 Re: Command line Zipping the new file is the first parameter, the files are the second.
