Hi,

On XP, I am looking to create a Windows *.cmd file to automate a
procedure that
consists of zipping all of the files in a certain directory which were
created between
2 specific dates. (Should I posting this question to a different
group; If so, which
one(s))

Thus, the procedure would be something along the lines of:

Input#1: Filename of Zip File to be Created (Say, "C:\zips
\SystemA_Feb1_Feb8_2007".
Input #2: Filename In Which Files that are to be zipped reside (Say, C:
\Logs\SystemA)
Input #3: Dates of Files to be Zipped (Say, Feb1 to Feb8 Inclusive).

In this case, this would create a zip file of the Feb1 to Feb8 logs in
the
c:\Logs\SystemA directory.

Can this be done with WinZip Pro? If so, does anybody have a sample
script,
or can anybody provide the link for a sample script?



Thanks,
DF

I used to use winzip, 'command line' interface and I'm fairly certain it
will zip files between specified dates & located the result where you
specify.
The problem might be if you wish to keep amending dates.
I am however 'dredgeing' my memory
Doesnt Winzip Pro have a web site / tech Q's?
