GZIP and External command.

[Former Member]

Hello,

My problem might seem simple but I have tried for a couple of days now to make researches on that matter and it still doesn't work, no matter what.

I had to make, with SM69, two external commands. One was using the command "mv" which is working very well and the other must be a "gzip" with a parameter "-c" and, in a module function, with the function "SXPG_COMMAND_EXECUTE_LONG", I have to send the path and the file name.

So since I am not able to make it work in the module function I'm creating, I am working to make it work on SM69. So here what I have entered so far...

Operating System Command: gzip

Parameters for operating sytem command: -c

Additional parameters: path/file.txt > newpath/file.txt.gz

Though, the only thing I am receiving is no change at all and I'm receiving u2039 È ®J as a message. The Exit code is at 1 and the exit status is E.

I know it means there is something wrong but all my researches lead me to do it that way so I'm not sure where I am going wrong and how to make it work appropriately.

Can you please help me?

I am open to questions if you have any.

Thank you
