- How to add to a zip archive from the commandline all files from a filelist in a textfile ?
- Posted by Tom Parson on September 30th, 2005
I have a textfile where hundereds of files (with path) are listed.
Now I want to add all these files to a (win)zip archive.
How do I do this from the command line ?
Using a DOS batch procedure with a command like:
for /F "tokens=*" %%* in (myfiles.lst) do zip "myarchive.zip" "%%*"
is not useful since the zip program needs to close and re-open the zip archive
for each file separately which is rather time consuming (20 times longer
than adding all files in one step)!
Is there a syntax which allows me to add all files in one step?

This software (PKZIP) may be a little old school but should get the job done
just the same. Here a link to check it out.
