Hey,
I'm working on a simple script to let me drop various archive files on to a small GUI to automatically decompress the archive and -if the decompression was successful- delete the original archive. Since I would like my script to be portable I've been trying to use 7za.exe, the help file explains:
"7za.exe (a = alone) is a standalone version of 7-Zip. 7za.exe supports only 7z, cab, zip, gzip, bzip2, Z and tar formats"
Compared to the following formats which are supported by the installed version of 7-Zip: "7z, zip, gz, gzip, tgz, bz2, bzip2, tbz2, tbz, tar, rar, cab, arj, z, taz, cpio, rpm, deb, lzh, lha, chw, hxs, msi".
The same help file explains:
"7z.exe is the command line version of 7-Zip. 7z.exe uses 7z.dll from the 7-Zip package. 7z.dll is used by the 7-Zip File Manager also."
So I tried copying 7z.exe and 7z.dll from the portableapps version and call the 7Z.exe from my script, but have not managed to get this to work either. My question is therefore:
Is there a way to run the portableapps version of 7Zip from the command line so that all of the file formats supported by the standard installation of the program can be extracted? Any other recommendations?
I hope I made myself understood and hope for some positive replies!
Regards,
Murple
