Can lotus notes zip attachments?

I have got a requirement which requires downloading of attachment/attachments from a document and then zipping it and storing the zipped item to a place in the drive.Its like… a button available on a document which when clicked will search for the attachment in the attachment field and if any attachment is available which will be extracted, zipped and stored in a place…most preferably a place as decided by the user.

Can anyone provide any expertise/code for this requirement?

Thanks and regards

Lince Mathew

I did something a few years ago that took a zip file and unzipped it to process the content (which were XML files)…

The way we did it was in a scheduled agent in script with Winzip Command Line. You can find some help if you google it, if not I can see if I still have an example at home tonight.

Here is some VbScript code that you use as the basis for what you need to do, without requiring third-part products. It creates an empty zip file and then uses the in-built functionality of Windows XP to copy files into it. The pause at the end is to wait until CopyHere finishes.

Option Explicit

Dim sFolderToZip, sZipFile, sLine

Dim objShell, objZipFile, objFolder, objFSO, objFile

sFolderToZip = “C:\temp\ziptest”

sZipFile = “C:\temp\ziptest.zip”

’ Create empty zip file

Set objFSO = CreateObject(“Scripting.FileSystemObject”)

Set objFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(sZipFile, True)

sLine = Chr(80) & Chr(75) & Chr(5) & Chr(6) & String(18, 0)

objFile.WriteLine sLine

objFile.Close

set objShell = CreateObject(“Shell.Application”)

Set objZipFile = objShell.NameSpace(sZipFile)

Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(sFolderToZip)

Call objZipFile.CopyHere(objFolder.Items)

WScript.Sleep 2000

MsgBox “Done”
