tcarter Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hi, I am trying to create a macro to loop files in a selected folder and ZIP up each file. I can't find any info on creating .ZIP's though. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rberq Posted November 30, 2009 Report Share Posted November 30, 2009 WinZip has a command-line interface that you could use. I don't remember if it's a freebie to licensed WinZip users, or if you have to buy it. With ME, you could build the .bat file of WinZip commands, the use Launch Program to run the .bat file.

tcarter Posted December 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 Ah, ok. So there is not built in method in Macro Express for zipping files? I came across the "Archive" selection under the File Attributes action. I assume that is not the same though? Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rberq Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I never have quite cared enough to figure out what the "Archive" attribute means. I don't believe it has anything to do with zipping, but I suppose it is possible that one or more zip programs might set the attribute. You could test and find out -- I still don't care enough.
