I wrote the below script to zip all the files and sub directories inside a folder. But I am only getting the sub directories zipped. What am I doing wrong here? Please advice.
FOR /D %%i IN ("*") DO "C:\Program Files (x86)\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe" a ../../../apps-1.0.2.zip "%%~fi\"
Give a try for this example and tell me the results :
-R Switch : for recurring subfolders
-AF<Type>
Switch : specify the archive format
-EP1 Switch : to exclude the names of the basic folder
-DH Switch: open shared files : Can process files opened by other applications.
This switch is useful if an application allows access the file read, but if all access is prohibited, the file open always fail.
@echo off
Set Winrar=%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\WinRAR.exe
Set MyFolder=%USERPROFILE%\Favorites
Set ArchiveName=apps-1.0.2.zip
"%Winrar%" a -r -afzip -ep1 -dh "%ArchiveName%" "%MyFolder%"
pause

For others switchs and commands you can execute this batch to open the help file of Winrar :
@echo off
Set WinrarHelp=%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\WinRAR.chm
Start "" "%WinrarHelp%"
