Copy mark zip

I'm using Windows 2000 in a virtual session because I'm going to talk about some command line stuff at 7-zip which is decidedly old-school but you know what it's good to know this stuff anyway because if you ever decide to run batch files or scripts and windows when you need to archive things it's good to know the sevens of command line version of it now I have the latest version even in Windows 2000 year 9.20 and you'll notice that in the Help section there is command line version oh okay well where is that it is in the 7-zip directory so if I launch command let me just make this bigger so you can see it better so if I go to Program Files 7-zip dir it's right here 7z exe and you would run it from here let me just minimize this for a second I have this here - this is this this is 64-bit Windows 7 it's still C Drive Program Files sevens up so if you're on 32-bit Windows 2000 32-bit XP 64-bit XP 32-bit Vista or 7 or 64-bit this door 7 it's always in the same place which is C program files 7-zip let's get back to 2000 here there we go so if we do 7z with nothing and press Enter tell us all the stuff we can do with it it's most likely true all you want to do is add which is just a if you want to extract e it's easy to remember a to add e to extract the way that it works pretty simple it's probably true you want to stick to the 7z format and I have a folder on my desktop called test which is just a bunch of files that I downloaded some ccleaner versions and some flash players stuff and whatnot now if I want to compress this using excuse me create an archive using the command line version I have to type out the entire path and also set the destination and all that other good stuff whatever Bay here's how it's done so it's 7z a so we're going to start with the actual program which is 7z you could type it as 7z exe if you want to it's not necessary just 7z and then a there's no - because you'll notice that the commands are different from the switches if using a command there's no - if you're using a switch there is a - and for the next part here I will be adding a switch which is a T which is type and it's just 7z so I'm going to launch 7-zip add to archive set the type to 7z and the next part is the name of the file you want to create now I want this file to appear on the desktop so let me launch another command prompt here this would be easy to do in Windows 7 because I have the address bar up here but oh well so see documents and settings administrator desktop ok so oops didn't mean to right-click there and edit mark enter to copy okay because this location has spaces in the pathname I have to put its around it in quotes so I'll do this quote right click see documents under here Desktop backslash test dot 7z so so far I have 7z add to an archive type of 7z to this archive name in this location and I say okay what files do I want to add to the archive again the location has spaces in the path name so quote document settings administrator desktop slash test wildcard and what this means is I want to add okay I'll go over it again launch 7-zip add to archive or the type of 7-zip to this archive and have everything in this folder which is actually right here add into that archive and if all goes well I press ENTER it will do it which it does and it gives a nice little progress meter is going along when it's done we should see it right here which would be in just a moment this is a little slow because I'm running it in virtual session everything is ok ah there it is if I open it up tada there's all my stuff now you'll notice it did not include the folders now the reason it didn't include the folders because I didn't tell it to you can do what's called a recursive this is one I believe one of the flags here include exclude include filenames yeah there is recur subdirectory so if I was to do this again let me just delete that okay so that would be F 3 oh no actually up there we go so if I go back here in in addition to the T flag I add the our flag which will recursively as it says right here recur sub directories it will include everything in the test folder and the subfolders underneath it let's go to the end of the line here and go and if all goes well it should recurse the subdirectory yes I did see right there it's doing it and we'll just wait till it's finished by the way when you do this it should be a lot faster again because of running this in a virtual session all right any day now there it goes and there it is if I double-click and it has the recurse sub-directories in it fantastic so if you want to run 7-zip from the command line the easiest way to do it is to actually launch the file manager first go into the help section and just read up on the syntax because I've only done just the basic basic stuff on how to do this and it has right here a which I showed you add bench delete extract list test update extract with full path and then all the switches I covered a type of archive and this recursive and there's more options to recursive so you want to check that out and you don't have to use 7z all it also shows you how to do or if you want to split an archive from the command line so be sure to check that out too so if you wanted to break up an iso file or something like that lots of good reading in there so if you want to do things from the command line and script up a bunch of 7z stuff it's good stuff to know
