The following example shows how to handle the archive file:

 

[C#]

flexCompress1.FileName = "C:\\TEST\\test.fxc";

// Create a new archive file

flexCompress1.OpenArchive(FileMode.Create);

// Let's encrypt all files

flexCompress1.Password = "The password";

// Set path to folder with some text files to BaseDir

flexCompress1.BaseDir = "Source";

// Do not compress MPEG3 files

flexCompress1.NoCompressionMasks.Add("*.mp3");

// Add all files and directories from Source excluding text files to the archive

flexCompress1.AddFiles("*.*", FileAttributes.Archive|

                         FileAttributes.Normal |

                         FileAttributes.Directory, "*.txt");// Set path to destination folder           

flexCompress1.BaseDir = "Dest";

// Extract all files and directories from the archive to BaseDir

// After extracting directory Dest should contain all files from folder

// Source excluding *.txt files

flexCompress1.ExtractFiles("*.*");

// Use full path

flexCompress1.Options.StorePath = StorePathMode.FullPath;

// Set path to destination folder

flexCompress1.BaseDir = "Source1";

// Move all text files from Source1 to the archive

// After moving directory Source1 should not contain any text files

flexCompress1.MoveFiles("*.txt", FileAttributes.Normal | FileAttributes.Archive);

// Set path to current drive

flexCompress1.BaseDir = Directory.GetDirectoryRoot(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory());

// Overwrite all files

flexCompress1.Options.Overwrite = OverwriteMode.Always;

// Update all files excluding 1???.t* from Source1

flexCompress1.UpdateFiles(DemoFolder + "\\Source1\\*.*", FileAttributes.Archive | FileAttributes.Normal,

               "2???.t*");

// Set temporary directory

flexCompress1.TempDir = "Temp";

// Test all files and directories in the archive

try

{

       flexCompress1.TestFiles("*.*");

}

catch

{

       MessageBox.Show("Archive is corrupted");

}

// Close archive

flexCompress1.CloseArchive();
