you can save the script as batchzip.sh then make it an executable.. >chmod 755 batchzip.sh and then run it >./batchzip.sh

Hi there people,
I have a script that performs batch zipping of files. Trouble is that it only does one file at a time (kind of going against the "batch" idea). Could someone point out the silly mistake I am obviously making?
Chers,
Pete.
--------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh # # batch zip # invoke with batchzip <filespec> # # this will zip all files in the current directory that conform # to the file spec. # ZIP="/usr/bin/zip" ARGS="-mT"
if [ -n "$1" ] then if [ -x "$ZIP" ] then nofiles=0
for file in "$1" do filename=${file%.*} echo "Adding $file to $filename.zip..." $ZIP $ARGS "$filename" "$file" > /dev/null
let "nofiles += 1" done
echo echo "finished ... processed $nofiles files." echo retval=0 else echo echo "Could not find 'zip'. Please check the path." echo retval=2 fi else echo echo "Usage : `basename $0` <filespec>" echo retval=1 fi
exit $retval
