Using Windows Script that Zip Files using Winzip

[M P]

Is it possible? I need to zip files like in this scenario:

C:\Backup\File1.doc
C:\Backup\File2.doc
C:\Backup\File3.doc

Zip to

C:\Backup\Folder1\Files.zip

7-Zip (http://www.7-zip.org/) is a (free) scriptable file compression
utility.

The following could be run from the command line:
7za.exe a -tzip C:\Backup\Folder1\Files.zip C:\Backup\File?.doc

You could also create a text file containing a list of files
to zip and execute it this way:
7za.exe a -tzip C:\Backup\Folder1\Files.zip @C:\Backup\Files.txt
where C:\Backup\Files.txt would contain
C:\Backup\File1.doc
C:\Backup\File2.doc
C:\Backup\File3.doc

C:\Backup\Files.log

Alternatively, depending on your needs, you could
create a text file of the commands and run it via script.

If you have a registered copy of winzip, you can download a command
line driven add-on free and us it via the WScript.Shell's Run method.

X-Zip is free - it's a COM object that can be used from VBScript or
anything else that can talk to COM.
