Jan 09, 2008 Here's a cmd file I use to keep the last 30 days of backup files and zip all of the *.prm files in a folder. You will need to dowload WinZip Command Line. Winzip is the world's leading zip utility for file compression, encryption, sharing, and backup. Save time and space, zip & unzip files quickly, and much more.
I have an old, free version of Winzip. 7.0 The executable will accept input from the command line. As in: D: test>'c: program files winzip winzip32' -a booboo *.bat Since the current directory is D: test, and winzip32.exe is not in the path, I had to use a complete path to winzip32.exe on the command line. This command would create booboo.zip in d: test and in the zip file would be all the files with extension of.bat found in d: test (Note: I found the leading ' and the trailing ' to be necessary, probably due to the space in the directory name of program files ) This functionality if poorly documented in the built-in Winzip help. Armstrong Sax Serial Numbers there.
It says you need an add-on. Using Google, you will find things that say you need a free add-on. The free add-on appears to only work with Winzip Pro. I have not experimented to see if it will work with lesser versions. I suppose you could try. Google Chrome Mac10.6.8. Visit those pages and read the description and see if you agree.
If your present version of Winzip will work from the command line, as mine does - you might like to visit: You could experiment with the command line options found there to find out if yours will work. I did not experiment with the -min switch mentioned there. Perhaps that is why I saw the gui interface flash up on screen when I ran it from the command line. I don't know if this will bother you or not. You will need to know the exact directory of your Winzip executable(s). One way to locate would be to use Find or Search on your computer, and search all your hardrives for Winzip*.* Do that now. Find your Winzip executable.
