running a batch command like pkzip inside Skill

Hi,

I'm looking for a method to be able to run a batch command inside skill. I'm not talking about running an Allegro batch command, but thirdparty batch commands.

Does anyone know if this is doable?

Best regards,

Ole

Hi All,
No need to worry. I found the solution
I can use axlShell to run a shell command e.g., axlShell( "shell pkzip zipfile.zip *.art")
Best regards,
Ole

Hi Sanjeev

I can share the zipping part of my code, but it has changed and I'm using another method now.

destination = axlOSSlash(strcat(getWorkingDir() "/" outdir "/" project_name ".zip"))

source = axlOSSlash(strcat(getWorkingDir() "/" outdir))

sprintf(cmddata "cmd /c cdszip -q -j -r \"%s\" \"%s/*.*\" -x \"%s/*.*\"" destination source source)

axlRunBatchDBProgram("Zip data" cmddata ?noUnload t ?silent t ?noProgress t)

where outdir is a subdirectory name below the board directory and project_name is the board design name.

I hope this helps

Ole
