First example



In the first example Limagito is going to move the input file to a temp directory if this file exists in the destination directory. We are using the “Execute Command if destination file exists” option. The Application field is empty. This depends on what you are going to execute. We are using a command line application.


Command:                cmd /c move %ID%FN c:\temp


cmd /c                        Carries out the command and then terminates

move                        Moves files and renames files and directories.

%ID%FN                Source (Input directory + filename)

c:\temp                        Destination


Input files are zipped into the subfolder ‘zipped’. The extention .zip is added to the original filename.


Second example



In this example Limagito is going to zip the input file using the command line version of 7zip. (7za.exe download at http://www.7-zip.org).  We are going to execute the command before the copy function. The Application field is empty. This depends on what you are going to execute. We are using a command line application.


Command:        7za.exe a %ID\Zipped\%FN.zip %ID%FN


7za.exe                7Zip Command line exe file

a                        7Zip archive command

%ID\Zipped\%FN.zip        Destination, Zipped filename (Destination directory + filename)

%ID%FN                Source, Unzipped filename (Input directory + filename)


Input files are zipped into the subfolder ‘zipped’. The extention .zip is added to the original filename.
