I need to create a batch file that will compress and zip all the files and folders in folder.
Once the the files and folders are zipped, the .zip file should be sent by email.
I am using Windows 7.
I dont have any idea about batch scripting. Please help.
Thanks in advance
The answer would depend on which operating system the script will run on, but you didn’t even provide that.
You don’t say if you are knowledgeable about any languages like C# or Java or Python, but I’d recommend writing the app in something like that. There are lots of libraries to help you with zipping, threading, etc. You might find it easier if you open up your restriction on languages.
But, if you must, here’s a solution that might help you:
