<H1>a (Add) command</H1>

<P>Adds files to archive.</P>

<H4>Examples</H4>

<PRE class="example">
7z a archive1.zip subdir\
</PRE>

<P>adds all files and subfolders from folder <SPAN class="filename">subdir</SPAN> to archive
  <SPAN class="filename">archive1.zip</SPAN>. 
  The filenames in archive will contain <SPAN class="filename">subdir\</SPAN> prefix.</P>

<PRE class="example">
7z a archive2.zip .\subdir\*
</PRE>

<P>adds all files and subfolders from folder <SPAN class="filename">subdir</SPAN> to archive
  <SPAN class="filename">archive2.zip</SPAN>.
  The filenames in archive will not contain <SPAN class="filename">subdir\</SPAN> prefix.</P>


<PRE class="example">
cd /D c:\dir1\
7z a c:\archive3.zip dir2\dir3\ 
</PRE>

The filenames in archive <SPAN class="filename">c:\archive3.zip</SPAN> 
will contain <SPAN class="filename">dir2\dir3\</SPAN> prefix, 
but they will not contain <SPAN class="filename">c:\dir1\</SPAN> prefix.

<PRE class="example">
7z a Files.7z *.txt -r
</PRE>

<P>adds all *.txt files from current folder and its subfolders to archive
    <SPAN class="filename">Files.7z</SPAN>.</P>


<H4>Notes</H4>

<P>7-Zip doesn't uses the system wildcard parser. 7-Zip doesn't
follow the archaic rule by which *.* means any file. 7-Zip treats
*.* as matching the name of any file that has an extension. To process 
all files, you must use a * wildcard.</P>
