i would like to know how to get all single .bak (or anyother extension) files into a directory, and zipping them (one by one) and save them using the same name, changing only extension.

Thanks

  • Going to need more information than that, or clarify the question. What do you mean by "all single files into a directory" and from where?

  • SvenW: the first one.. file1.bak into file1.zip, file2.bak into file2.zip

For unixoid systems, see this.

On Windows, try something like this in cmd.exe: 

for %f in (*.bak) do zipper_software %f %f.zip

The exact syntax for this command will depend on the zip software you use. Note that you likely will end up with archive file names like file1.bak.zip.
