This is the Winrar command Line I am using..
"C:\RAR.EXE" m -r "E:\MEDIA.RAR" "C:\MEDIA"

What i want to do is make it so after each file is put into the archive it is deleted from the source.
but the way winrar does it is, it deletes all of the source files only after 100% successful completion of the whole entire archive..
So is there anyway to make it so winrar deletes each file one by one after each file is successfully put into the archive..??This doesn't really belong here.


BUT...if you post a screenie of exactly what it SAYS in the command line when you type C:\RAR.EXE /? then we might be able to help, or help the people in the software/programs section.It says:
C:\RAR.EXE /? will just show all the command line switches for RAR.EXE same as shown here:

"C:\RAR.EXE" m -r "E:\MEDIA.RAR" "C:\MEDIA"
Creating E:\MEDIA.RAR
List of each file that is being put into the archive.

Archive completed yada yada..

Sorry if i post this in the wrong section, I didn't know anywhere else to ask this..
Is there a WinRar Support form for this at all, I tried Googling for one but couldn't seem to find one..
So is it not possible then to do what I'm asking..??WinRAR or RAR likely don't support this. You could probably create a batch file that subsequently adds each file to the RAR and deletes it.Code: [Select]RAR 3.70 beta 7 Copyright (c) 1993-2007 Alexander Roshal 16 Apr 2007

"C:\RAR.EXE" m -r "E:\MEDIA.RAR" "C:\MEDIA"
is the same as
"C:\RAR.EXE" a -df -r "E:\MEDIA.RAR" "C:\MEDIA"

A -DF = M --> it says that in the manual...!!!

-df Delete files after archiving

Move files to archive. This switch in combination with
the command "A" performs the same action as the command "M".

"WinRAR or RAR likely don't support this. You could probably create a batch file that subsequently adds each file to the RAR and deletes it."

I guess that is the only way then or what..??
How would I make a batch code that does that then..??
You would do:

Code: [Select]Start "C:\RAR.EXE" a -df -r "E:\MEDIA.RAR" "C:\MEDIA"
and save it as something.batI dont think you got what i was sayin there Helpmeh..!!

I need to make a batch file that searches a folder for all its files then for each file found it executes this command for it:
"C:\RAR.EXE" m -r "E:\MEDIA.RAR" "C:\MEDIA\Found-Folder\Found-File-1.ext"

So something like this i suppose..??

for /f "delims==" %%D in ('DIR C:\MEDIA /A /B /S') do (
"C:\RAR.EXE" m -r "E:\MEDIA.RAR" "%%D"
)

Would something along the lines like that work..??Quote from: gumbaz on January 21, 2009, 09:25:24 AM
