I'm a first time poster! My current project is making a batch file that will compress a folder / drive, password protect it. I then I will include my Nero batch info and burn it to DVD so that it is password protected. I'm having issues with the Winrar batch part. I have it listed below
'C:Program FilesWinRARrar.exe' a -m5 -e -pTest c:test c:
However it doesn't copy anything. Can someone please help me out if my flags are incorrect or syntax is incorrect.
Thanks in advanced,

RAR Command line
This is the Winrar command Line I am using. 'C: RAR.EXE' m -r 'E: MEDIA.RAR' 'C: MEDIA' What i want to do is make it so after each file is put into the archive it is deleted from the source. But the way winrar does it is, it deletes all of the source files only after 100% successful completion of the whole entire archive.

WinRAR is the Windows version of RAR and includes the shell mode version or Graphical User Interface (GUI), as well as the command line option. After you receive or download a RAR file from the Internet or via email, you need to extract its contents in order to use them. WinRar offers both a classic interactive Windows interface and the command line interface. WinRar provides functionality for creating a 'solid' archive, which can raise the compression ratio by 10% - 50% over more common methods, particularly when packing large numbers of small files.
The RAR Command Line is the tool that provides a number of far more comprehensive and selective options, including many useful Windows specific options which are not available with the WinRAR graphical user interface(GUI).
It may take some time to become familiar with the command mode but it is definitely worth it for repetitive, automated or more complex functions which can be used manually from Windows Command line interface, or when using BAT or CMD files.
