Need help with a command.

Solved!

Hi all ,

i dont know what i forget but i cant get this specific line to work in my script.
This is a piece of a script im writing for hs3.

I converted from bat to vb .

this is the original line :

7zG a -tzip "D:\HS3B\test.zip" "C:\Program Files (x86)\test1\*" -mx5

this wil make a zip file of C:\Program Files (x86)\test1\ and put it into D:\HS3B\




But when i try to run this script it says its missing a comma or a )

Imports System.Diagnostics
Imports System.ComponentModel

Sub Main(parm as object)


Process.Start("CMD", "/k 7zG a -tzip "D:\HS3B\test.zip" "C:\Program Files (x86)\test1\*" -mx5
end sub 

so i changed it to :

Process.Start("CMD", "/k 7zG a -tzip D:\HS3B\test.zip C:\Program Files (x86)\test1\* -mx5")

And it doesnt work, it says directory invalid..



does anyone know what i'm missing ?

thanks in advance

Try this:
Process.Start("CMD", ""/k 7zG a -tzip "D:\HS3B\test.zip"" ""C:\Program Files (x86)\test1\*"" -mx5"

How about:

Process.Start("CMD", "/k 7zG a -tzip ""D:\HS3B\test.zip"" ""C:\Program Files (x86)\test1\*"" -mx5")
