7z in batch file with variables “Incorrect command line”
0
I'm trying to run the following batch file:
set HH=%time:~0,2%
set HH=%HH: =0%
IF %time:~0,2% GTR 5 (
IF %time:~0,2% LSS 21 (
FOR /F "TOKENS=1 DELIMS=:" %%A IN ('TIME/T') DO SET HH=%%A
XCOPY "D:Sage RAM ImageSage Data" C:Sage-Incremental-Backupsage-%date:~-4,4%-%date:~-7,2%-%date:~-10,2%-hour-%HH% /D /Y /E /R /K /C /H /I
"C:Program Files7-Zip7z.exe" -a -pXXXX C:Sage-Incremental-Backupsage-%date:~-4,4%-%date:~-7,2%-%date:~-10,2%-hour-%HH%sage-backup.zip C:Sage-Incremental-Backupsage-%date:~-4,4%-%date:~-7,2%-%date:~-10,2%-hour-%HH%*
EXIT /B 0
)
)
But it keeps giving me the error "Incorrect command line". I think it might have something to do with the date variables, as they work fine in normal XCOPY operations.
Where is it wrong?
When echoing the line I get:
"C:Program Files7-Zip7z.exe" -a -p3uropeaN1 C:Sage-Incremental-Backupsage-2
014-06-10-hour-07sage-backup.zip C:Sage-Incremental-Backupsage-2014-06-10-hou

The value set to the variableHHon the second line seems wrong. Why are you assigning a value to theHHvariable and changing it back immediately in the next line?

Putechoin front of the line and report here what’s getting printed. @Chirag64 The second line removes space characters from the string. Nothing wrong or strange about it.

It seems the -a switch was wrong. I removed the -a and replaced with just a and it worked ☺.
