Batch file script to zip files
batch-file, windows
Solution
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.
Problem
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.
