Post New Requests Here / Re: IDEA - Compress files with 7zip without the folder

« Last post by rookie1 on November 16, 2008, 03:19 AM »

Code:
cd test && 7z.exe a -tzip ..\test.zip -r .\*

worked great, Jippie I'm very happy now. :-D
But how do I specify where the 7za.exe file is located?

cd test && prog\7za.exe a -t7z ..\test\ -r .\*         is not working

edit: Good cd test && ..\prog\7za.exe a -t7z ..\test -r .\* Good   WORKS!!

the script must be used on a system where maybe there's no 7zip installed
In the mean time I'll keep searching, you already helped me a lot

Thanx Again

I'm sorry, I've tried it several ways whith your code but no luck...

Would it help if it is also fine when it's done whith makecab?

If they are all being cabbed together, it would be great to.

set cab=C:\prog\makecab
:cab_all_files
pause
%cab% /f C:\all_files\* c:\all_files.cab    (could not find file c:\all_files\*   or    *.*)
pause

Thank you for you're help

Thank you, I tried it but that doesn't seem to work.

I forgot to tell: there are also some folders inside the "all_files\" folder that must be packed with the 50 files together.

Post New Requests Here / IDEA - Compress files with 7zip without the folder

« Last post by rookie1 on November 15, 2008, 01:39 PM »

Hello,

I've been trying to compress all the files in a particular folder via command line.
There are about 50 files in the folder, I would like all the files from that folder to be compressed in to one 7zip, but without the folder.
As in, if you decompress it on your desktop, you would have a mess . That's what I'm looking for.
So far I've come up with:

code:
7za.exe a all_files.7z all_files\*

But if I do it like this, it will include the folder, so I get a compressed folder and not 50 seperate files that are being compressed.

I've been looking all over, but couldn't find anything about this. Help would be much appreciated.

Kind regards,
