&& not doing anything

[bytedead]

Been using this app for a while now but have never been able to get more than one command to work. Specifically... del command. I would appriciate it if someone could help me out with this.

 

example: memtest.zip

command after d/l:

7z x {file} -o"{root}\{category}\" -y &&
del /f "{root}\{category}\manual.html"

 

If I use "&&", nothing gets extracted. If I use &, extraction works but still does not deleted the file "manual.html".

Hi,

 

I don't know why && doesn't work, but did you try without? I never use it when having multiple commands to launch and everything run fine.

 

If when using & you have trouble, this is because using it causes Ketarin to not wait for the command termination to process and launch the next one. Thus, the del line is executed before manual.html gets extracted.

 

Actually, the best in your case is to simply use 7z built-in filtering feature:

7z x {file} -o"{root}\{category}\" -y -x!manual.html

Thank you andreone! The "-x!*" works great and I am using that intead of del.

 

Also figured out my problem with del... 2 too many "\". I should have mentioned that I am running it from a thumb drive.

 

before: shows up as "del L:\\*" in log

7z x {file} -o"{root}\{category}\" -y
del /f "{root}\{category}\Eula.txt"

 

working:

7z x {file} -o"{root}\{category}" -y
del /f "{root}{category}\Eula.txt"
