Command Line Interface

Top  Previous  Next

IZArc can perform certain operations directly from the command line.

 

There is "Command line Add-On" that can be used for more detailed command line operations.

You can download it from IZArc main site: http://www.izarc.org

 

You can use the following switches to perform certain operations:

 

· -a (or /a) FileName1.ext;FileName2.ext
· -ad (or /ad) FileName1.ext;FileName2.ext
· -e (or /e) [Extracting Folder] FileName1.ext;FileName2.ext
· -eh (or /eh) [Extracting Folder] FileName1.ext;FileName2.ext
· -ef (or /ef) [Extracting Folder] FileName1.ext;FileName2.ext
· -cv (or /cv) FileName.ext
· -s (or /s) FileName.ext
· -t (or /t) FileName.ext

 

"FileName.ext" must include the full path and the filename (C:\Work\FileName.ext)

 

Opening compressed files directly from the command line:

 

· Type: IZArc FileName.ext

For example: IZArc C:\Work\Demo.zip

 

Adding files to an archive with options:

(This will open the Add Dialog box when you can select many options)

 

· IZArc -a FileName1.ext (;FileName4.ext;FileName3.ext ..)

For example: IZArc -a C:\Work\Doc.txt  (or C:\Work\*.txt)

 

Direct Adding files to an archives:

(This will create directly a Zip archive and will add the file(s) to it)

 

· IZArc -ad FileName1.ext (;FileName4.ext;FileName3.ext ..)

For example: IZArc -ad C:\Work\Doc.txt (or C:\Work\*.txt)

 

Extracting an archive:

 

· IZArc -e [Extracting Folder] FileName.ext (;FileName4.ext;FileName3.ext ..)
· [Extracting Folder] - Full Path to the extracting folder

For Example IZArc -e C:\Work C:\Work\Demo.zip

(This will open the Extract Dialog box when you can select many options)

 

Also -eh and -ef switches are possible

· -eh - Direct extracting archive(s) in the current folder
· -ef - Direct extracting archive(s) in the current folder + folder named with the name of the archive (without extension)

 

Converting an archive:

 

· IZArc -cv FileName.ext

For Example IZArc -cv C:\Work\Demo.zip

 

If the archive is a SFX compatible (currently the following archives are supported- ACE, ARJ, BH, JAR, LHA, LZH, RAR, ZIP ), you can convert it to a SFX (Self-Extracting File):

 

· IZArc -s FileName.ext

For Example IZArc -s C:\Work\Demo.zip

 

Test an archive:

· IZArc -t FileName.ext

For Example IZArc -t C:\Work\Demo.zip
