i have a folder structure in this pattern. I've just shown two sub directories and 2 files in each but generally I have n number of subdirectories at a single level and single level of files (but can be n number of files)under them.
Directory master subDirectory x: file1 file2 Directory y: file 3 file 4
I need to create a windows script, a batch file to run from the master directory and give me two zip files x.zip and y.zip containing their respective files.
I know my script has to use for and zip commands but I am going bonkers trying to get it to work as I can't understand from the syntax of these commands and googling doesnt seem to help.
I found a command like this for %f in ("*.*") do zip "%~nf.zip" "%f"
but it seems to be working only if the files are directly there without subfolders.
for /d %%a in (*) do (ECHO zip -r -p "%%~na.zip" ".\%%a\*")
should work from within a batch.
Note that I've included an ECHO
to simply SHOW the command that is proposed. You'd need to remove the ECHO
keywor to EXECUTE the commands.
I know its too late but if you still wanna try
for /d %%X in (*) do (for /d %%a in (%%X) do ( "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tzip "%%X.zip" ".\%%a\" ))
here * is the current folder. for more options try this link
