Mac OS Terminal Zip Command – Run from Omnis

Hello,

Have a look at the ZipUnzip object at www.studiotips.net/downloads/

I’m using the following code:

Begin text block
Text: tell application “Finder” (Carriage return)
Text: do shell script “cd ‘/Users/User1/Documents/FilesToZip’ ; zip -r -dc -lf ‘/Users/User1/Documents/FilesToZip/BackupLog.txt’ -li ‘/Users/User1/Documents/ZipFiles/Backup.zip’ .” (Carriage return)
Text: end tell (Carriage return)
End text block
Get text block lvScript
Do $runapplescript(lvScript,lvResult) Returns lvErrCode

It also creates a logfile of the ZIP-operation.

HTH,

Werner

I can run th efollowing command in OSX Terminal and it will create a Zip file of all the files in the Pictures folder.

Zip -r “Desktop/Omnis 4321/Test.zip” “Desktop/Omnis 4321/Pictures”

However, when I try to do it from Omnis with the below code I get lvError=1753 (Script Error). I suspect it has to do with the Quotes. Tried several variations but no luck. Any ideas?

Begin text block
Text: do shell script ” Zip -r “Desktop/Omnis 4321/Test.zip” “Desktop/Omnis 4321/Pictures”” (Carriage return) End text block Get text block lvText Do $runapplescript(lvText,lvReturn) Returns lvError
