Solve : Compressing Multiple Files with 7zip via CMD?

Answer»

I am trying to COMPRESS over 100 files to 7z in 7zip. However, I have to select each files to compress them.

As you can tell, this will be a very long process so I was HOPING to compress them all at once. 7zip seems to not have this option which is rather annoying.

However, I have found this command prompt CODE which compresses folders into .7z. The code is this -

for /d %%X in (*) do "c:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a "%%X.7z" "%%X\"

Now, how I do use this code to compress files, not folders?

The code is actually saved in a bat file where when opened, it will do its job.

ThanksCode: [Select]@echo off
for %%X in (*.*) do "c:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a "%%~nX.7z" "%%X"

If you start them all at the same time (which can be done) you MAY run out of resources, but the above should process an ENTIRE folder.
