Backup & Restore Dbf Files

Hi All,

I was experimenting how to zip and unzip files with HMG.

I found that existing COMPRESS and UNCOMPRESS don't fulfill what I want.

So, I "learned" to use low level hb_ commands. Moreover I used the GetSaveFileName() and
GetOpenFileName() functions (Win32 functions if I am not wrong) here.

(Thank you Rathi. I got the "courage" from you to use low level functions.)

. Compile and run.

And please tell me how to upgrade this project.

It is very useful for learning HMG.

With best regards.

Done, but unfortunately :

mingw32-make.exe: *** [...\Sudip\BackRest\MAIN.exe] Error 1
Finished With Errors.
What I missed ?

BTW, why you don't use CompressFiles(), UncompressFiles() functions or COMPRESS, UNCOMPRESS commands of HMG?

Hello,

Please run HMG IDE. Then go to Tools -> Preferences. Then in the External Libraries text box, please type

Code: Select all

hbziparc;hbmzip;hbzlib
I hope this will solve the problem.

With best regards.

Something is missed out here, I think.

I am using compressfiles() & uncompressfiles()

Hi Esgici,

Thank you for testing :)

I tried those commands. But I can't found how to unzip into a SPECIFIC FOLDER. So, I HAD TO USE low level functions of harbour libraries. If there is an EASIER way to do it with UNCOMPRESS command, please inform me (as you know, I am in a very basic learner of HMG)

With best regards.

Yes, 3 libraries (may be 1 is sufficient. But I have to test it)

With best regards.

Hi friend Sudip,

It working fine.

Very good you code.
you learn very good, the low level. Good luck with your tests

i know that this is only a example of low level. but for compress and make a backup, i agree with Esgici:

"BTW, why you don't use CompressFiles(), UncompressFiles() functions or COMPRESS, UNCOMPRESS commands of HMG?"

When you get a another code post for us, guy. Please go ahead with their functions and codes on the low level.
This was very good. Congratulations.



PS: Sorry my bad english

Hi All,

I got following documentation for HB_UNZIPFILE function.

Code: Select all

HB_UNZIPFILE()

Unzip a compressed file

Syntax

    HB_UNZIPFILE( <cFile>, <bBlock>, <lWithPath>, <cPassWord>, <cPath>, 
    <cFile> | <aFile>, <pFileProgress> ) ---> lCompress 

Arguments

    <cFile> Name of the zip file to extract

    <bBlock> Code block to execute while extracting

    <lWithPath> Toggle to create directory if needed

    <cPassWord> Password to use to extract files

    <cPath> Path to extract the files to - mandatory

    <cFile> | <aFiles> A File or Array of files to extract - mandatory

    <pFileProgress> Code block for File Progress

Returns

    <lCompress> .t. if all file was successfully restored, otherwise .f.

Description

    This function restores all files contained inside the <cFile>. If the extension is omitted, .ZIP will be assumed. If a file already exists, it will be overwritten.

    If <bBlock> is used, every time the file is opened to compress it will evaluate bBlock. Parameters of bBlock are cFile and nPos.

    The <cPath> is a mandatory parameter. Set to ".\" to extract to the current directory

    If <cFile> or <aFiles> are not provided, no files will be extracted! Make sure you provide the file or files you want extracted

    If <pFileProgress> is used, an Code block is evaluated, showing the total of that file has being processed. The codeblock must be defined as follow {|nPos,nTotal| GaugeUpdate(aGauge1,(nPos/nTotal))}

Examples

      FUNCTION MAIN()

      aExtract := hb_GetFilesInZip( "TEST.ZIP" )  // extract all files in zip
      IF HB_UNZIPFILE( "TEST.ZIP",,,, ".\", aExtract )
         qout("File was successfully extracted")
      ENDIF

      aExtract := hb_GetFilesInZip( "TEST2.ZIP" )  // extract all files in zip
      IF HB_UNZIPFILE( "TEST2.ZIP", {|cFile| qout( cFile ) },,, ".\", aExtract )
         qout("File was successfully extracted")
      ENDIF
      Return Nil

Status

    Ready

Compliance

    This function is a Harbour extension

Platforms

    All

Files

    Library is hbzip.lib 
I think this function has more options than CompressFiles() function.

Please send your comments. It is essential for my journey in HMG.

With best regards.

Thanks Sudip. My way of doing.

Code: Select all

zipname := "x.zip"
fnames := array(adir("c:\folder\*.*"))
adir("c:\folder\*.*",fnames)
compressfilesarr := {}
for i := 1 to len(fnames)
   aadd(compressfilesarr,"c:\folder\"+alltrim(fnames[i]))
next i
Then we can use compress files command.

Regarding recursive sub-directories, we have to work more. :)
