Hi,

I am trying to create a zip file from a group of files.

I do not want to use 3rd part software but native xp/vista zipfldr.dll option or any other. I am trying to avoid making a .cab file.

Is there a way to run that from inside IVF including using SYSTEMQQ or any other option

What I wish to do is

rundll32 zipfldr.dll outputfileorfolder.zip *.ext

The first two arguments is what I am looking for

Thanks for any options

Regards,

 

Sumit

This MSDN Forum thread asks the same thing.  Apparently, there is no way to do it quite as you're asking.  The thread suggests that there is a way to call the shell's COM interface to do it, which would theoretically be possible from Fortran using the Module Wizard.  If I understand the code correctly, one creates an empty ZIP file (you can do this with stream I/O in Fortran) and then asks the Shell to copy files into it.

Hi Sumit,

in case you change your mind, search for ZLIB in this forum and you find a simple way to create a .zip file.
