Zipping a txt file

Ben

 

It worked, thanks a lot… I used –y switch to answer all Q Yes…

 

exec master..xp_cmdshell '\\dell\tessitura\source\7-zip\7zG.exe a "\\dell\tessitura\source\sso_pacingdata.zip" "\\dell\tessitura\source\sso_pacingdata.txt" -y'

 

Thanks a million…

I can’t believe this,

 

As per your script, I wrote thio=s code and it actually worked…

 

exec master..xp_cmdshell '\\dell\tessitura\source\7-zip\7zG.exe a "\\dell\tessitura\source\sso_pacingdata.zip" "\\dell\tessitura\source\sso_pacingdataxt"'

 

but the SQL is not stopping. The Zip is ready but I haven’t got any return outut in SQL. It’s still executing…

 

what could be the problem? Does it need an output file?

 

Thanks a lot…

Hi Varsha,

I found a very interesting thing in  the xp_cmshell.

this one work:

exec master..xp_cmdshell 'c:\winzip\7z.exe a "c:\a\a.zip" "c:\a\a.txt"'

this one doesn't:

exec master..xp_cmdshell '"c:\winzip\7z.exe" a "c:\a\a.zip" "c:\a\a.txt"'

---

but

c:\winzip\7z.exe a "c:\a\a.zip" "c:\a\a.txt"

and

"c:\winzip\7z.exe" a "c:\a\a.zip" "c:\a\a.txt"

both  work in cmd.

have fun

Ben
