I used option b with CF5 - I found it worked without the timeout setting, but hung with it.
It worked really well - zipped up a 10mb Access db and made it available for download. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 18/08/2003 3:35:06 pm >>> Hi All, I need to zip a file via mx. I have tried a number of options - see a, b, c below. Any advice on how to get them to work, or an option D would be most welcome. Thanks, Phil. Option a) Downloading the command line extension for winzip, and calling directly via cfexecute. I have tried a number of variations... e.g. <cfexecute name="c:\program files\winzip\winzip.exe" arguments="-min -a c:\temp\zipme.doc c:\temp\newzip.zip" timeout = "10"></cfexecute> <cfexecute name="c:\program files\winzip\winzip.exe" arguments="-a c:\temp\zipme.doc c:\temp\newzip.zip" timeout = "10"></cfexecute> <cfexecute name="c:\program files\winzip\winzip.exe" arguments="c:\temp\zipme.doc c:\temp\newzip.zip" timeout = "10"></cfexecute> <cfexecute name="c:\program files\winzip\wzzip.exe" arguments="c:\temp\zipme.doc c:\temp\newzip.zip" timeout = "10"></cfexecute> None of the above worked, though some create a temporary zip file, but failed to rename it and the command fails to finish. ================================== Option b) Calling the command line extensions for winzip via a batch file e.g. temp.bat c: cd \ cd program files\winzip winzip -min -a c:\temp\zipme.doc c:\temp\newzip.zip Then <cfexecute name="c:\temp\temp.bat" timeout = "10"></cfexecute> The bat file executes up until the winzip command, then just hangs and fails to complete. ======================================= Option c) Downloading jcompress_070802.zip from the tag gallery. I put JCompress.class in c:\cfusionmx\custom tags but the call to the tag returns "The CFX custom tag "CFX_jcompress" was not found in the custom tag database. " I then tried registering it as a java cfx tag but that didn't help either. --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MX Downunder AsiaPac DevCon - http://mxdu.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Maddocks Melbourne - Tel: (61 3) 9288 0555 Fax: (61 3) 9288 0666 Sydney - Tel: (61 2) 8223 4100 Fax: (61 2) 9221 0872 Web: http://www.maddocks.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this electronic mail is privileged and confidential, intended only for use of the individual or entity named.
