Batch file to move and zip info

Comment:

I'm trying to help out some of the employees I work with by creating .bat files to move their data instead of doing it manually. One thing I'm not sure of is can you zip a file up before moving it or while moving it within a BAT file? If so how? I need to move stuff from folder A into folder B but it needs to be zipped in the B folder. Thanks!

pkzip -m x:\folderB\zipname y:\folderA\*.txt ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

Further to Mechanix's response pkzip has a multitude of facilities that should be checked out. Almost certainly it can meet your requirements. e.g. I used it for daily securies with a different ouput floppy or floppies each day of the week (6 in total), using one for sat/sun. Good Luck - Keep us posted.
