zip files created within same month

AHartman

I have an archive folder that contains files from different months. I would
like to have a script that takes all of the files created say in May and
creates a zip file called May2008.zip. Then after it creates the zip and
verifies delete the files from the folder. Then does the same for and other
previuos months files.


TIA.

What ZIP application do you use?

This will dir files only, group them by the month/year they were created.


dir d:\scripts\temp | where {!$_.PSIsContainer} | group {"{0:MMM}{0:yyyy}"
-f $_.CreationTime} | foreach {
$zipFileName = $_.name + ".zip"
# make zip file $zipFileName
$_.group | Remove-Item -WhatIf
}

Here's the solution using 7-Zip (



$7z = "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe"

dir d:\scripts\temp | where {!$_.PSIsContainer} | group {"{0:MMM}{0:yyyy}"
-f $_.CreationTime} | foreach {

$zipFileName = $_.name + ".zip"

# generate list of files to compress, for list files, 7-Zip uses UTF-8 encoding
by default
$_.group | foreach {$_.fullname} | out-file d:\listfile.txt -encoding utf8
-force

# archive list of files
$null = & $7z a -tzip d:\$zipFileName `@d:\listfile.txt

# check if the operation succeeded
if($LASTEXITCODE -eq 0){
"operation succeeded, removing source files..."
$_.group | Remove-Item -whatIf
} else {
"error"
}

}

Thanks Rich, much better


dir d:\scripts\temp | where {!$_.PSIsContainer} | group {"{0:MMM}{0:yyyy}"
-f $_.CreationTime} | foreach {
write-zip -path ($_.group | foreach {$_.fullname} ) -OutputPath ($_.name
+ ".zip") -removeoriginal -whatIf
}

What version? Check my reply to RichS. PSCX is much more robust solution.
