JBarbosa Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 Hello all, I am a first time poster and a Newbie user of Macro Express. Can some one give me a jump start on how to automatically compress each file/folder on a given path into separate archives? Resulting archives are placed on another path. If possible, I would like to use winrar application and set compression method to Best. Regards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Just use the repeat with folder and run WinRAR with the appropriate switches (like you would do from a command prompt) using "Program Launch" in ME. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBarbosa Posted September 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Hi, Thanks for the tip. Can I use macro express variables in "Program Parameters" field from "Activate/Launch Program" dialog (e.g., -a -r -m5 %T1% %T1%)? When I run the macro I get the warning "no archives found".

kevin Posted September 25, 2008 Report Share Posted September 25, 2008 Can I use macro express variables in "Program Parameters" field from "Activate/Launch Program" dialog (e.g., -a -r -m5 %T1% %T1%)? Yes. When I run the macro I get the warning "no archives found". To check to see if the parameter is correct you could use a Text Box Display command immediately above the Activate/Launch Program command. Once the macro is working you can disable or delete the extra Text Box Display command. You can also step through your macro using the debugger to see the content of variables at specific points in the macro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
