SB 7.7 Questions

[NewsArchive]

1. In the documentation it states that I can have multiple wildcards
when I
use the Handle File Listing for the Load File LIst and Calculate File
size operations.
I cannot get this to work. In the Path name, I enter %Folder%\*.dat;
*.tps or
%Folder%\*.dat; %Folder%\*.tps. (%Folder% contains D:\APPS\TTG) Neither
work.

2. Can I use the File List created in the Handle File Listing - Load
File List operation variable
to be the Source File Specification in the Zip Files function?

TIA, Dee

%Folder% should be %FOLDER% (uppercase).

For example: %FOLDER%\*.exe;*.dll

You can't use is directly. The return value is some kind of a QUEUE
structure. You have to convert it to a LSZip File Specification (see
attached code snippet -- Lines 30-35).

Friedrich - thanks again.

Friedrich - please remember to save the path with the file name so I can
create the list of files to backup from the File LIst created from the
Handle File Listing.

TIA, Dee

Friedrich - in your code snipit - how big or how many characters can the
%ZIP_SPEC% variable be?

Please ignore - I found the answer. Where else - in the documentation.
