batch 7z directories in a path to a new directory but 7z

[lunatiq]

I have a batch for command line script that will convert files to 7z to compress but I'm not sure how to do directory of directories. Maybe someone can help.

 

FOR /F "TOKENS=*" %F IN ('DIR /B /A-D "D:\Media\Roms\atari 2600"') DO 7z.exe a "D:\Media\Roms\atari 2600\New Folder\%~NF.7z" "D:\Media\Roms\atari 2600\%~NXF"

I think what you're wanting to do is zip up each folder into its own zip (.7z) file.

 

Example:  this batch file will take these 3 folders 

and create these 3 files

 

Place the batch file inside the folder that contains the subfolders you want to zip.  In my Example, the batch file would go inside the Games folder.

for /d %%X in (*) do ( 
	PUSHD "%%X"
	"c:\program files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a "..\%%X.7z" "*" 
	POPD
)
pause

The "pause" at the end is optional.  I put it there so that I can see that it's working, and 'worked' when completed (as in no errors).

This is exactly what I was looking for.
