    How to use 7z compression in Pascal Script

    How to use 7z compression in Pascal Script

    In version v2024.3.20.0 we added two new Pascal Script functions which allows you to use 7z compression.

    • Function ps7zCompress(Source: String; Destination: String; Password: String; Options: TStringList): Boolean;
    • Function ps7zCompressEx(Source: String; SourceFiles: TStringList; Destination: String; Password: String; Options: TStringList): Boolean;

    We added an example where we’ll be looking for a certain file called ‘trigger.txt’ within subfolders. If this trigger file is found we’ll compress the complete subfolder. The goal is to create a compressed backup of the complete subfolder content.

    • As Source we used a Windows Folder:

    limagito file mover windows folder as source

    • The content of subfolder ‘Sub’ looks like the following screenshot. It contains the ‘trigger.txt’ file which we’ll use to start the compressing mechanism.

    • We added the following include filename filter, because we are searching for the ‘trigger.txt’ only. This file will determine which subfolder we need to compress.

    • Enable ‘Include Subdirectories’ within the Dir Filter’ setup:

    limagito filemover directory filter

    • We enable our ‘File Memory’ option because we only want to compress its subfolder once. If the trigger.txt is changed, then we’ll compress the subfolder again.

    – Function is set to ‘Copy’ because we want to keep the source files.

    • Now add our ‘Pascal Script’ as Destination:
      • Please add the following script: link
      • Please adjust the following Const if needed:
        • ctZipPassword
        • ctZipExt
        • ctOutputPath

    • The new ps7zCompress function has quite some options available which you can adjust if needed:
      • AddDirectory = False, True (default: True)
      • CompressionMethod = Copy, Deflate, Deflate64, BZip2, LZMA, LZMA2, PPMd (default: Deflate)
      • DuplicateCheck = None, Existing, All (default: Existing)
      • DuplicateAction = Overwrite, Error, Skip (default: Overwrite)
      • EncryptionMethod = None, AES128, AES192, AES256, ZipCrypto (default: ZipCrypto)
      • FileIncludeFilter = (default: *.*)
      • ScanSubDirectories = False, True (default: True)
      • Level = 0..9 (default: 7)
      • Threads = 1 .. 255 (default: 1)
      • Error = ‘Error Description if compression fails’
