Command

Use this option to execute an external (command line) application.

Wait until command has finished: The rule will only continue when the (command line) application is finished.
Execute command once per scan: The (command line) application will only be executed once during a scan (not with every source file).
Continue when ExitCode is: Check the ExitCode of the (command line) application and decide if you want to continue.
ExitCode = Destination: Let the ExitCode of the (command line) application decide which destination the rule will use.

Enable command for temporary directory:

First example:

In the first example we're going to move the source file to a temp directory if this file exists in the destination directory. We are using the 'Destination File Exists' command option. The 'Application name' is empty. This depends on what you are going to execute. We are using a command line instruction.

Command: cmd /c move %SFD\%SFN c:\temp

cmd /c Carries out the command and then terminates

move Moves files and renames files and directories.

%SFD\%SFN Source (Source file directory + filename)

c:\temp Destination

Second example:

In this example we're going to zip the source file using the command line version of 7zip. (7za.exe download at http://www.7-zip.org). We are going to use the 'Before Move/Copy/Delete' command option. The 'Application Name' is empty. This depends on what you are going to execute. We are using a command line application.

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

7za.exe 7Zip Command line exe file

a 7Zip archive command

%SFD\Zipped\%SFN.zip Destination, Zipped filename (Destination directory + filename)

%SFD%SFN Source, Unzipped filename (Source directory + filename)

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