7zip
I am using 7zip for compressing a bunch of files.
The files are in a directory structure, like this:
MyDir\File1 MyDir\File2 MyDir\File3 MyDir\MoreFiles\File4 MyDir\MoreFiles\File5
I want to create a 7z file with the following structure via command line:
ZippedDir\File1 ZippedDir\File2 ZippedDir\File3 ZippedDir\MoreFiles\File4 ZippedDir\MoreFiles\File5
Basically, I want to zip the content of MyDir\
into a new folder called ZippedDir\
. I know I could copy the content into a directory called ZippedDir\
and then zip this new directory.
However, I was wondering if there was a way to avoid this extra copy step and directly zip the content, if possible, via command line.
