hi, i have made a batch file which copies some files into another server and makes a zip file on destination server. The problem is i need to make a zip file on the basis of foldername or else on the name of file. like i am having a file and folder names as folder name:- monday_log_08172008_4 file name:- monday_log_08172008_4.log i have made the batch file which makes a zip file of the folder as monday_log_08172008.zip but don't know how to make it as the folder name or the file names as i shown above but i don't know how to make it perfect is there any idea. Please note that folder name or file name gets changed everyday like monday_log_08172008_19.log monday_log_08172008_440.log so we daily need to rename it and make it a zip file of it. your kind help is highly appriciated.
