Need help on finishing off a .bat command

[tweacle]

Hi

I have the following bat command to 7zip my files but I need help in tweeting it a bit. I have

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

This is good as it zips the files but I need if poss something pop up telling me to rename the folder once it zipped and then password protecting it.

If I can do that maybe something like a text or message box advising to rename and password protect folder.

Thanks

You were told in your previous question how to get prompted to password protect the zip file.

Sorry to be a pain

Its zipping the file OK and saving it in C:/Downloads.ZIP

How do I change it so it saves in a folder on C:/ called ZIPPED DOWNLOADS and puts the zipped folders in there?

[Squashman]

So it is naming the zip file the name of the directory it is zipping. The folder name it is zipping is stored in this variable: "%%X".

So what would you do to this code: "%%X.zip" to add the output path to it?

Penpen showed you how to do it in your last thread.
