Short Variables Modifiers

Top  Previous  Next

Modifiers of variables Q, S, M, N, W may be used to specify format of file names:

Q – enclose names with spaces into quotes;

q – enclose all names into quotes;

S – use '/' instead of '\' in paths;

M – pass archive folder names as 'name\*.*';

m – pass archive folder names as 'name\*';

N – pass archive folder names as 'name';

W – use name without path;

P – use only path without name;

A – use ASCII (DOS);

U – use Unicode (Little-endian) for the file of file list;

u – use Unicode (UTF8) for the file of file list;

B – add BOM-tag to list of files.

 

These modifiers may be used right after variables %%F, %%f, %%L, %%l, %%W without spaces.

'P' and 'A' may be specified after %%A and %%a.

Multiple modifiers may be used, e.g. %%LMN or %%FQSN128.

If no modifier 'M' ('m'), nor 'N' is specified, 'N' is used by default. If both 'M' ('m') and 'N' are specified, the archiver will receive both 'name', and 'name\*.*'.
