Hi,
I have question on using Drag Drop Robot 1.08 to zip up files. The sample shows using %2 as a source parameter to the zip program.
When I drag folders into DDR, it becomes like this e.g
c:\folders\folderA
c:\folders\folderB
c:\folders\folderC
What I want is to zip up the files without the C:\folders\.. ie only relative directory structure.
Anyway I can do that without putting all the folders in C:\ drive?

CAREFULLY try these (semi-documented) features:
// %p = short path
// %P = long path
// %no = short name (without ext)
// %NO = long name (without ext)
// %n = short name (with ext)
// %N = long name (with ext)
// %e = extension
so i think if you drag+drop
c:\folders\folderA
then %p will be "C:\folders"
and %NO would be "folderA"
let me know if it works

actually i've just read your post again
i think what you are asking is *not* how to get fields as i posted,
but you want to provide a commandline option to winzip to tell it only to store RELATIVE directory information?
is that right?
there should be a commandline option in zip/winzip for that.

No. Actually I'm using winrar, but it is the same principle. The folders I drag in has the C:\Folders\folderA, and using %2 passes the whole string in meaning the zip file has a structure like so Folders folderA instead of just folderA. The %NO option works perfectly. thanks! |

The %NO options aren't documented.

Hmm, I encountered a situation where the %NO doesn't work... when my folders have . in them.

thanks I'm haven't investigated this yet, but does it take into account of the return value of the command line program? ie. most programs return 0 if successful, or some other int otherwise. So if the return value is an error, then print out a large warning red text in the redirected window. |

currently drag&drop doesnt pay attention to the return code, but thats a good idea for a feature to add as an option.
