Is there a Dataplugin that wraps up TDM/TDX files in a zip?

[Jim West]

I would like to compress the TDM/TDX files used by Labview and DIAdem.  Has anyone created a dataplugin that wraps up these files into an archive?

There is no need for a dataplugin to do that. Compress your data-files with any console-application like "pkzip".  If you want to automatisize it, use the ExtProgram -Command in your script. Or write a script, that only contain this command and assoziate it with a scriptstart-button in Diadem.

Here is an example for WinRAR:

Call ExtProgram ("c:\Programme\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe","m -ep -ibck c:\DatenLX\" & KMaschnr_ & " c:\DatenLX\" & KMaschnr_ & ".*")

This compresses all files named (machine number).* into a rar file with the name (machine number).rar without prompting and in the background and afterwards deletes all uncompressed (machine number) files
