Oodle precompressor (Side project)

[:( Sad8669]

Brother, I have mentioned it before, that you have to use <stdin> <stdout>.

Here, for your satisfaction i have tested it on your favourite tool.

$$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp :

FreeArc 0.67 (March 15 2014) updating archive: Data.arc
Compressing 1 file, 5,656,576 bytes. Processed   0%
Compressing 5,656,576 bytes with "Resources\OodleRec\oo2reck" e $$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

Errorlevel=0

ERROR: general (de)compression error in oo2reck

<stdin> <stdout> :

FreeArc 0.67 (March 15 2014) updating archive: Data.arc
Compressed 1 file, 5,656,576 => 6,925,113 bytes. Ratio 122.43%
Compression time: cpu 0.02 sec/real 1.18 sec = 1%. Speed 4.78 mB/s
All OK

Arc.ini :

[External compressor:oo2reck,oo2recs,oo2recm]
header    = 0
packcmd   = "Resources\OodleRec\{compressor}" e <stdin> <stdout>

Note : All test are performed using Tiny Compressor v1.4 and always use <stdin> <stdout> when using constants.

Ah, I assumed that

<stdin> <stdout>

and

$$arcdatafile$$.tmp $$arcpackedfile$$.tmp

could be used interchangeably, thank you for clearing this up!

This is true only in some cases. E.g. XTool and SREP can either run in stdio or $$arc$$ mode. It's best not to deviate from whatever is given to you in the packing example unless you are prepared ro sit and test various methods.

I'll be sure to do this in the future! Thank you both for your very useful help!
