Zip file directory structure

anonymouse · Post by **anonymouse** » Sun Oct 23, 2005 8:58 pm

How do I just pack the files and not the folders that contain it from the route of the drive.

In order to store directory structure from some folder (not from root) you should do this:
- change current folder to necessary folder;
- pack "*.*" files. Do not specify the full path.

See example below

Code: Select all

I am having trouble with a variation of this command. like first user I would like to zip files without the path from root. but I have multiple files in one folder that need to be zipped into their own zip file. in other words. c:\music\ folder contains 12 files. I am trying to make a task that creates a zip file for each file and without the directory structure. I have created a loop command and made that run sucessfully, I have also used the above example successfully. but I am having a hard time combining the two. any suggestions?
thanks, Jmail137

I've modified your task, see below. Advice: use the {ExtractFileName()} variable to extract filename only.
For example: {ZIPFOLDER}\{ExtractFileName({filename})}.zip

Code: Select all
