Cannot Use Multiple Command Successfully

[allanc]

I am trying to use 7-Zip and then rename the resulting .exe as per below.

The 2nd command does not appear to be executing.

However, if the command line only contains the 2nd command, the rename occurs.

 

"I:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x "L:\Toolkit\Zip\7_Zip\*.zip" -Y -o"L:\Toolkit\Zip\7_Zip\" && ren L:\Toolkit\Zip\7_Zip\*.exe 7z.exe

 

Thank you in advance.

Why &&? You're not programming here. Simply put your two lines ... on two lines in the edit box

Nope, indeed with Ketarin you need to use symbols like & and && to combine commands.

 

@allanc

Can you post log ?

Basic problem is you're DL *.exe and telling 7z to process *.zip. '&&' is conditional, so it will not work.

The '&&' is conditional upon what and why?

TIA.

[FranciscoR]

IF command #1 is sucessfull, command #2 is executed. Otherwise #2 is not executed. See here for instance. '&' executes #1 AND #2.

 

P.S. To unpack 7-zip you need to use Uniextract.

 

------------------

 

Edit: 7-zip uses NSIS, so it should work.

Changing the '&&' to '&' resolved the issue.

Thank you for your assistance.

Nope' date=' indeed with Ketarin you need to use symbols like & and && to combine commands. [/quote']I have this for an app and it works fine: each line is executed

7z x -y -o"{install_root}\{category}\{appname}" {file}
del {install_root}\{category}\{appname}\languages\* /Q
rmdir {install_root}\{category}\{appname}\languages

So & or && are not mandatory

[FranciscoR]

Actually it did not used to work like that. And tutorial still says

 

If you want to specify multiple commands, you can connect them with ”&&” like “copy {$file} … && del {file}”.

 

Peanuts.
