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.
#Windows zip folder zip
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. Until then, peace.First, the batch (%%variable) and Windows CMD (%variable) uses different variable naming. If you have any questions, send email to me at or post your questions on the Official Scripting Guys Forum. I invite you to follow me on Twitter and Facebook. ZIP Week will continue tomorrow when I will talk about more cool stuff. TR, that is all there is to using Windows PowerShell to create a.
#Windows zip folder archive
The archive contains all of the files from the source. Now when I run the script, an archive appears in my destination folder. ::CreateFromDirectory($Source, $destination) To fix this issue, I add a Test-Path command to delete the archive file if it already exists. When you are using this method, if the file archive file already exists, the following error message appears: This is due to file locking, and it will generate the following error message: The source directory and the destination file cannot reside in the same directory. This method accepts two arguments: a source directory and a destination file. NET Framework class has a static method named CreateFromDirectory. This is the command:Īdd-Type -assembly "system.io.compression.filesystem" The best way to do this is to use the Add-Type cmdlet and specify the name of the assembly as an argument to the –Assembly parameter. The ZipFile class is not available by default in Windows PowerShell because the System.IO.Compression.FileSystem assembly is not loaded by default. This is really cool because this class is extremely easy to use.
#Windows zip folder windows 8.1
NET Framework 4.5, and Windows 8.1 ships with. You have everything you need-and that is. TR, luckily, you do not need to wait for anything before you can use Windows PowerShell to create a. So I prefer to wait until the snow melts, the ice thaws, and the sun is out before taking to the open road. I really enjoy hearing him, because it fills me with hope that summer is on its way, and that soon we will have warm weather and we can get outside without having to bundle up.Ĭertainly I can put on a coat and hop on my bicycle, but I learned (the hard way) a long time ago that trying to ride a bicycle when there is ice on the road is not the smartest thing to do (at least not for me). I mean, the snow has barely cleared, and he is out there chopping away with his weed eater. Microsoft Scripting Guy, Ed Wilson, is here.
