Winrar Command Line for Excluding a Directory

[sachinkainth]

Hi all,

I have a .bat file in which I have a Winrar command that zips up all the files in a particular folder (

C:\Data

). I want to zip all the files in this folder plus any files in any subfolders except that I want to exclude a particular subfolder (

C:\Data\Cobian\Logs

). Here is what my command looks like

WinRAR a -r -m0 -agYYYYMMDD C:\Users\Sachin\Desktop\ C:\Data -x*\C:\Data\Cobian\Logs -x*\C:\Data\Cobian\Logs\*

You can see that I have attempted to exclude the aforementioned subfolder by using the below option, but the attempted exclusion does not work. The rest of the command works.

-x*\C:\Data\Cobian\Logs -x*\C:\Data\Cobian\Logs\*

How can I correctly exclude the given folder?

What about?

-xData\Cobian\Logs

or

-x*Data\Cobian\Logs

or

-x*\Data\Cobian\Logs

or

-xC:\Data\Cobian\Logs

I will try those very soon and report back.
