Note: If you want to debug the VBS script,Ĭheck out this hint, it describes how to activate the debugger to go through it step by step. Two parameters (optionally with wildcards for the first parameter), e.g.Ĭreates Scripts.zip in the same folder containing all matching *.cmd files. Will create in the same folder containing the zipped file FileToZip.txt. One parameter (no wildcards allowed here): Here's the modified script Zip.cmd based on his answer, which works fine on my end: offĮcho Set objArgs = WScript.Arguments > _zipIt.vbsĮcho InputFolder = objArgs(0) > _zipIt.vbsĮcho Set fso = WScript.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") > _zipIt.vbsĮcho Set objZipFile = fso.CreateTextFile(ZipFile, True) > _zipIt.vbsĮcho objZipFile.Write "PK" ^& Chr(5) ^& Chr(6) ^& String(18, vbNullChar) > _zipIt.vbsĮcho Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("Shell.Application") > _zipIt.vbsĮcho Set source = objShell.NameSpace(InputFolder).Items > _zipIt.vbsĮcho Set objZip = objShell.NameSpace(fso.GetAbsolutePathName(ZipFile)) > _zipIt.vbsĮcho if not (objZip is nothing) then > _zipIt.vbsĮcho objZip.CopyHere(source) > _zipIt.vbs I am not sure if the command wScript.Sleep 12000 (12 sec delay) in the original script is required or not, so I kept it. For me, it did not run out of the box, so I had to slightly change it. I like PodTech.io's answer to achieve this without additional tools. Is pretty short than i expected when start to play with. Is not neccesary to append ".zip" to name. So, we pass %d to both, wich is the current for iteration folder name zipped into a file with the folder name. You can try with myzip.zip, but if will fail because if you have 2 or more folders the second cannot gave the name of the first and will not try to overwrite without more params. r- is for recursive, so anyting will be added.įor /d %d in (*) do zip -r %d %d The first %d is the zip name. (exec zip itself and see the help display to use your custom rules).
Not sure about issues with relatives from batch.įor /d %d in (*) do zip -r. (*) this will mean all on THIS dir, because we use /d the files are not processed so no need to set a pattern, even if you can get only some folders if you need. That suposses that I CD to desired folder, or run from. I put d to match widh d (directory meaning).įor /d %d in (*). the %d tells cmd wich name do you wanna assign to your variable. Only remember modify the %varname to %%varname before blame me :Pįor /d. Of course, i use CMD for better/faster testing instead batch. I got (extracted to target folder) zip.exe and cygwin1.dll from the cygwin package (3mb filesize both together) and start play with it right now. Use built-in zip manipulation is not like easy on Win, and even harder with batch scripting.īut you're lucky anyway. Second, i dont figure out how do you use zip from CMD.
