Bug with 7z extraction button

[darren1234]

I am using the following on a button to extract an archive to same directory :

Command : "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7zG.exe"
Params : x %P%N -o%P%O
Start Path : %P

When used with an archive with no spaces in the archive name it works as intended, but when used with an archive that does have a space in the name it does not do anything.

Any help appreciated.

Add a question mark in front of the parameters to see the full parameters before confirming them. Check them carefully. My guess is that it should be

Code: Select all

x %P%N -o"%P%O"

in the parameters field. Note that %P%N (in this order!) is automatically quoted by TC.

Many thanks that fixed it - why is the %P%O not likewise automatically quoted ? (bug maybe ?)

why is the %P%O not likewise automatically quoted ? (bug maybe ?)

You mean I would use smtg like '%P%O.txt' and I would get ' "%P%O".txt ' as result?


Like

C:\Temp\Install.exe
%P%O.txt >> automatically quoted >> "%P%O".txt
"C:\Temp\install".txt

?

It is also possible to extract files without a button in the current directory:

If you want to extract files from an archive with ALT+F6 (or ALT+F9) in TC, then simply overwrite the suggested path with a "." point.
Files from a .zip archive are extracted then into the current directory.

Actually, you could have continued right here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=50792
