ZipFiles

Syntax

ZipFiles(ZipFile, SourceDir, InclMask[, ExclMask][, RecurseDirs][, StorePathnames])

Description

Compresses files and stores them into a .zip archive file. If the archive file exists, files will be added to the archive. If compressed files already exists in the archive, they will be overwritten.

The function returns True if the compression completed successfully. If an error occured, the function returns False.

Especially when compressing large (quantity of) files, the progress of the compression operation can be monitored by watching the status bar of the TRADIUM main programme.

Parameter	Description
Zipfile	The path and file name of the .zip archive. If it not exists, a new archive will be created.
SourceDir	This string value is the path and name of the source directory. A path relative to the current directory can be used.
InclMask	This string value is the name of the file search pattern. To select all files from the sourcedir use ".".
ExclMask	This mask is to make exceptions to the include mask. For example: "*.sys" to prevent system files to be archived.
RecurseDirs	Boolean. When True, all subdirectories of sourcedir will be scanned for matching files to be added to the archive.
StorePathnames	Boolean: When True, the complete path of the filenames will be stored also in the archive.
