Hi,

First - use RP_WAIT to make sure the Run Program command waits for the zip program to complete before the script continues.

To grab the result of the operation try piping the command output to a text file and then reading the text file in with ReadLn to analyse the results. Something like:

Let>RP_WAIT=1
Run>CMD.EXE /c wzunzip.exe zipfile ... etc etc >> c:\temp\zipoutput.txt
..
ReadLn>zipoutput.txt
.. etc etc

Use command.com instead of CMD.EXE if you are on Win9x

Hope this helps.

Hi Support,

I didn't know the RUN> command suports output redirection. Do it imply it also support other programs in addition to CMD.exe? Thanks for showing us a valuable scripting tip.
