Thread: Multiple File Specifications with ZIP feature

  1. #1

    Default Multiple File Specifications with ZIP feature

    When we ask users to send us their data files for analysis, we sometimes need files with three different file extensions. For example *.db? (gets DBF and DBT), *.ini and *.mem. In some zip programs like 7-Zip we can list all those specifications separated by semicolons and get only what we need.

    Can the file specification in SetupBuilder's ZIP utility handle *.db?; *.INI; *.MEM? We do not want to zip the entire folder, that would produce a HUGE zip file containing tons of information that we do not need. The file would be so large that many email programs would reject it as an attachment.

    Our other alternative is to produce three zip files, one for each file specification shown above and then have the client attach all three to an email....

    Any suggestions?

    Hello,

    No problem. See attached screenshots. The installer zips up all *.db?, *.ini and *.mem files.

    Does this help?

    Wow! That is exactly what we need. We tried commas and semicolons as specification separators to no avail. Thanks for your reply.

    I think I get it now, there is NOTHING that Setup Builder cannot do!
