WZZIP & directory name with spaces (1 Viewer)

[bodhran1]

Hi all,

I am trying to put a file into a zip file. The directory I have to go to has spaces (NOT MY IDEA!).

It seems to work, but nothing is in the directory once finished.

Can anyone help?

Here's the line. Maybe I have a syntax error?

Call Shell ("C:\WINZIP81\WZZIP C:\PROGRAM FILES\AUTOCAD LT 2000\PROJECTS\9999\9999acad.zip -A c:\PROGRAM FILES\AUTOCAD LT 2000\PROJECTS\9999\9999fab.DWG" ,)

Try this:

Call Shell ("C:\WINZIP81\WZZIP_C:\PROGRAM_FILES\AUTOCAD_LT_2000\PROJECTS\9999\9999acad.zip_-A c:\PROGRAM_FILES\AUTOCAD_LT_2000\PROJECTS\9999\9999fab.DWG" ,)

Don't know if it will help...but it's worth a shot.

No luck,

I had tried that earlier, but not to the extent that you suggested.

I had put the underscore between the spaces of the directory names only, but that didn't work either.

Must be a WZZIP thing? They suggest using the -ys option to replace spaces with the underscore when writing, but it appears that it can't read the files with spaces as well.

I'll drop the WINZIP people a line, to see if they can help.


Thank you for your effort. I really appreciate you taking the time to help me.
