Question about zipping files

[WuGgaRoO]

hey whats up guys, im sure there are some of you who remember me
so anyways, im trying to zip a whole bunch of roms but i want each rom to have his own zip file. Since i have liek 800+ roms i don't feel like sitting there and manually adding each to its own zip do does anyone have any idea how someone can select a whole bunch of files and add all the files into their own zip
i was thinking about getting one of those keystroker loggers/ replayers but i dont know where i can get one. Like something that records everything i do keyboad and mouse and remembers it. Then it can duplicate what i just did
well thanks anyways dude
ps
i started folding again earlier today

HEY Wuggs.... Your Back!!!! AWESOME. We missed you... Glad your folding too!!!

As for the answer to your question... I think a THIS (http://www.winzip.com/prodpagecl.htm?wzhcli)add-on to Winzip will do it... You create a batch script to read the directory and zip each file...

Download WinRAR, add all the files you want to archive to it, and in the "files" tab, check in "Put FIles in Seperate Archives"

Right, this isn't particularly elegant, but I'm drunk and I just spent half an hour working this out so I'm determined to write it out now :)

First download 7-zip from here Linky (http://www.7-zip.org/) and install it.

take the file 7z.exe (this is a standalone console zip utility) from wherever you just installed 7-zip to and put it in the folder with your Roms to be zipped

now, create a batch file (a text file with the extension .bat) in that folder and paste these 3 lines into it:

for %%l in (*.txt) do 7z a %%~nl.zip %%~sl
md zips
move *.zip zips

replace *.txt with the correct extension for the files you want to zip (eg *.* for all files or *.rom or whatever)

save the batch file and run it

you should now get a nice subfolder called 'zips' containing zipped up versions of all your roms.
