Hi All!
I'm looking to zip up several files. I created a workflow to run a batch file through the run command tool. It produces a zipped folder but when I try opening it, I get the following error -
I attached the folder containing my workflow, batch file, and data. Any thoughts on how to solve this? Thank you!
lol through trial and error I got it to work:
The difference was here:
As per markcurry:
7z" a -tzip "Folder to store zip file" "folder to retrieve file to zip"
He used: '7z a -t7z "C:\Temp\output.zip" "C:\Temp\output.csv"'
I used: '7z a -t7z "C:\Users\Calvin Tang\Desktop\Zip Use Case\Output" "C:\Users\Calvin Tang\Desktop\Zip Use Case\Input"'
Notice how I didn't declare the output.zip and also the output.csv.... it generated a file in itself.
Try and see! Generate the .bat file inside Alteryx and experiment with leaving both sides empty...
