Hi, I'm totally newbie with XYplorer....
I'm trying to make a button to compress/expand an archive file using 7zip.
I know that there are many example in the forum, but I want to understand (at least a bit) the script' s language.
I made button, Lclick expand the file Rclick compress.
Lclick code:
Code: Select all
run ""<xypath>\Data\Archiver\7z.exe" x -y -o<items>"
results: Error overflow
What I'm doing wrong?
Thanks in advantage and sorry for my poor english

Bad quoting and <items> exists only in a different context...
Try this:
Code: Select all
run """<xypath>\Data\Archiver\7z.exe"" x -y -o<selitems>";

put a:
above that line (and indent the second line with e.g. 4 spaces!)
and show a screenshot of how that line is resolved by XY.

What is "no way"?...
Code: Select all
step;
run """<xypath>\Data\Archiver\7z.exe"" x -y -o<selitems>";
Execute that and show a screenshot of the window that you'll get...

Ok, I tried all you suggest. At this point the problem maybe about write permission on the folder (servers os are always critical about that), I'll investigate further, by now I can only say thank you very much and sorry for my poor english (I'm Italian)

You don't give 7z.exe an archive to extract^^ and atm you're trying to extract
nothing to the name of the file^^
Explain exactly what you are trying to do. Give meaningful examples...
- Do you want to extract more than one file? If that's not the case you don't need <selitems> but <curitem>
- How exactly should the destination path look like?
E.g. this would extract all selected archives into folders that have the base names of their corresponding archive:
Code: Select all
run """<xypath>\Data\Archiver\7z.exe"" x <selitems> -y -o*";

Code: Select all
$folders = "";
foreach($file, "<selitems |>") {
run """<xypath>\Data\Archiver\7z.exe"" x ""$file"" -y -o*";
$folders = $folders . "<curpath>\" . gpc($file, "base") . "|";
}
foreach($folder, $folders, , "e") { tab("new", $folder); }
