I would rather use the xadmaster.library and do things internally. But I haven't found a good source code example on what to do. The only example I have is terribly written and makes little sense. I was PMing with a guy on OS4Coding and he said the same thing.

My current parser accommodates for any length of text/data. It will work with any version just as long as the columns line up consistently.

To whomever is doing the latest update:

In the header line, the Size and CrndSize fields have been increased from 8 to 9 each. (I would increase them to 10). This is fine, but not for when you are parsing the output.




It may seem menial at this time, but it is very critical.

So, then someone is still working on xadunfile? This issue will be addressed? Soon?

I don't understand how no one has brought this up before. This is a huge bug.

Thanks, guys.

My version is 1.22 and only 8KB.
Your version is 1.26 and 146KB.

Is there a newer package out there? Mine is what came with OS4.1FE.


Not specifying the entire path, just the name, works. But that will cause problems if there is more than one file with the same name, but in different drawers. Your example extracted two files with the same name.

Not good enough for me.

Right. It says "Nothing processed." I can do it with LhA, but not with xadunfile.

Moved on from the LhA extract single file issue. Now using xadunfile. Having the same problem.

I want to extract a single file from an archive to the current path, but without any sub-drawers.

xadunfile from "amistore.lha" destdir "ram:" file "DATA/IMAGES/BANNERS/A-EonVideoCollection_LG.png" noabs

That creates all the drawers. Using notree instead extracts nothing. Using both together does nothing.

What I want is the png to end up in root of ram:.

What am I missing?

I asked a while back on Hyperion's forum (or maybe OS4 Coding) about why the devices "back end" hasn't been updated to clearly say: I am a cd drive; I am a harddrive; I am a network share; I am a USB thumb drive; etc., and here are ALL of my specs.

What I am really after is can you see a list of computers on the network on the Amiga side? Amigas, Windows, Macs, etc. I am assuming not.

Is there a Network Neighborhood (like on Windows) on AmigaOS4? Do people even have multiple Amigas to do this? Do you see a list of computers/drives like on Windows? And can then browse them?

I am running on WinUAE. I have a shared drive via SMBFS that shows as a regular drive, not a "network share" like on Windows. Does OS4 even know it is a share? Right click "Information" has very little info about it.

Just curious to the extent of the networking ability.

-x2 got it. Thanks

Let's say I am in RAM: and I have an LhA archive. I want to extract 1 file from it that is a few drawers deep.

LhA x RAM:archive.lha Drawer1/Drawer2/TheFile RAM:

This works, but it makes the 2 drawers first then puts TheFile in them (full path extracted).

Using 'LhA e' I hoped would not create the drawers, just put TheFile in RAM: root.

I also tried 'LhA -x0 e' but that doesn't extract anything.

Is there a way to do this?
