Guest Rob Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 I'm having trouble running a program from the command line alzip -a c:\myfile backup.zi When I try this I get an error saying alzip isn't recognized as an internal/external command. If I just type alzip without the arguments the program launches. The command should work as it's just following the generic syntax on the website. Any suggestions?
Guest John John Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Re: help with command line Is the -a switch valid? There is a space in the path, spaces in paths at the command prompt have to be surrounded by quotation marks: alzip -a "c:\myfile backup.zip" or maybe you meant this: alzip -a c:\myfile\backup.zip John Rob wrote: > I'm having trouble running a program from the command line > > alzip -a c:\myfile backup.zi > > When I try this I get an error saying alzip isn't recognized as an > internal/external command.

Guest Rob Posted August 8, 2007 Posted August 8, 2007 Re: help with command line Yes, it's a valid switch. The name after the space is actually the output alzip -a c:\myfile.ext backup.zip I just tried it again and it seems to have worked. I must have accidentally put an extra space or something. Thanks anyways :P "John John" <audetweld@nbnot.nb.ca> wrote in message news:OSgrZDf2HHA.4712@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... > Is the -a switch valid?
