-p command

[aliasCD]

Hello,

trying to use PACOMP like this :
"G:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\CommandLine\pacomp.exe" -a -p Test.zip @Test.txt

in Test.txt, we have :
File01.txt
File02.txt
SubFolder\File03.txt

So, if I do not use the -p command , it is working but the subfolder "SubFolder" is not stored in the zip file !
If I use the -p command, I get this message :

PowerArchiver Command Line (PACL) Version 4.00 [Dec 27 2004]

Do I miss something ?

Thanks for your answer.

Hi, the first thing I did when I got PACL was to put the executables in a location on my system path so that I wouldn't have to mess around with long drawn out command lines like this:

"G:\Program Files\PowerArchiver\CommandLine\pacomp.exe" -a -p Test.zip @Test.txt

For me this is much easier:
pacomp.exe -a -p Test.zip @Test.txt

In any event both methods worked, subdirectory and all. I called the command from E:\Temp\TTest1 with the following file/directory structure:

E:\Temp\TTest1\Test.txt
E:\Temp\TTest1\File01.txt
E:\Temp\TTest1\File02.txt
E:\Temp\TTest1\Subfolder\File03.txt

I was able to replicate the error you are getting if Test.txt existed but did not reside in the same directory as File01.txt like this: (assume C:\Windoze\Test.txt does exist)

C:\Windoze\>pacomp.exe -a -p Test.zip @Test.txt

You probably already figured this out looking at the date! But the system path thing is still handy.

Best Wishes.

Hi,
First of all, thanks for your answer !

we are going to take the problem by another way.
I am writting a program which terminate with compressing files in a subfolder I create in a folder the user choose.
I want to be able to let the user choose the program he want to compress : WinZip, WinRar, PowerArchiver, .../...
even I have to adapt my Test.bat.

If, for example, the user choose the folder C:\Dir01\Dir02 to work,
I create a subfolder Dir03,
where I write the Test.bat which call pacomp (with his full path -in the path or not-)
and where I write Test.txt which list the files I need to compress, assuming the root directory is Dir02.
So, Test.txt look like this :
File01.txt
File02.txt
Dir03\File03.txt
WinZip and WinRar works correctly, like I wait they must do
so in the Test.zip I get
Name__________________________________Path
File01.txt____________________________
File02.txt____________________________
File03.txt____________________________Dir03\

PaComp do not work like this, and more :
I reproduce the test you do :
working with Test.txt, Test.bat in the same folder as File01.txt
in the Test.zip I get this :
Name__________________________________Path
File03.txt____________________________Dir03\
File01.txt____________________________Dir01\Dir02\
File02.txt____________________________Dir01\Dir02\

and of course, when I unzip Test.zip, it create a folder Dir03 and a folder Dir01 with a subfolder Dir02
so I thing there is a bug in the command -p.

May be I do not use PaComp like it should be use, but I know exactly what I want to do
and I do not find the way PaComp can do it.

If you have a suggestion you are welcome.
Or may be review the -p command...
