Quick Zip program question
« on: February 12, 2008, 11:50:40 am »
Anyone know of a zip program that I can use to zip up a bunch of files, but into a bunch of corresponding zip files (as opposed as all going into one zip file)?  I suppose some kind of batch process is probably neccesary?

Cheers!

Pkzip ?

i think you can do a commande like

pkzip *.*  *.zip

or something close.

Yeah a batch file would probably be easiest.
Something like this:

for %%b in ("*.*") do pkzip %%b

Thanks for the replies...the 'zip *.* *.zip' method doesn't generally work (doesn't like the *.zip).  I just found a trial version of something called 'Batch Zip Toolkit' which does the job nicely tho :)

I do this all the time - and WinRar does the job just fine.

Select all the files you want to zip, right click (assuming you have winrar shell integration, which is the default).

Select "Add to archive..." to bring up the options.

Select Archive format to "Zip" if you want that instead of RAR

Click on the "Files" tab, and then tick the checkbox "Put each file to seperate archive"

Hit Go, and you are done, every file zipped into to its own archive, named after the filename.zip.

NB This works for whole directories too, so you can move whole dirs into their own archive.
