7za command line help...pls assist

[wrapster]

Hi all,

I have been working on manipulating certain files in ramdisk...
However the ramdisk is 7za compressed (as opposed to the gzip that i am familiar with)..
The issues now is , i dont know the cmd line of 7za....I was unable to find any substantial help from the web either,so am asking you folks.

I would like to know the command line of 7za?

Thanks
wrapster

That's funny. I googled 7za and found tons of stuff.

You can always ask a command line for help on any command by using --help

7za --help

Alternatives include (but vary by command -h [b-?[/b]

Guess i didnt put it the right way ,when i said i needed help ,substantial one on 7za command line...

The issue really is ,Im having trouble using the archive obtained from the compression and doing a putback to the respective dir in the actual live cd...

The command line i follow is
7za a -tgzip -mx=9 <archive.gz> </path/to/edited/file>

here is my understanding of it.... the "edited file" will be added to the archive .gz (this is created first) so eventually i need to cp this to the actual <archive.gz>
(in the livecd) to get my modifications working, right????

This apparently is not working...and this is want i wanted to address...
I can see the changes when i reopen the <archive.gz> but on the livecd it runs into errors....

This is however not because my syntax is wrong ,but something else,since when i unpacked and repacked using the 7za compression (with absolutely no modifications done to any script ) i still get errors!!!

could you help me out now?
