This is simple bat file that compresses folder data into zip format
Certainly! Let's break down the batch file and its functionality:
@echo off
This line is used to turn off the echoing of commands to the console. It ensures that only the final output is displayed to the user.
echo ๐ Hello! Starting the batch process. ๐
echo ๐ผ Working on converting files to zip... โณ
These lines are using the echo
command to display messages to the user with the help of emojis. The messages provide information about the start of the batch process and the current task being performed.
set folder="C:\Path\To\Folder"
set zip="C:\Path\To\Output\Archive.zip"
These lines are used to set the values of variables folder
and zip
, specifying the path of the folder that will be converted to a zip archive and the path for the output zip archive, respectively.
powershell Compress-Archive -Path %folder% -DestinationPath %zip%
This line uses the powershell
command to invoke a PowerShell instruction within the batch file. It uses the Compress-Archive
cmdlet in PowerShell to create a zip archive of the specified folder (%folder%
) and save it to the specified destination path (%zip%
).
echo โจ Folder successfully compressed to a zip archive! ๐ฆ
After the zip archive has been created, this line uses the echo
command to notify the user that the folder has been successfully compressed into a zip archive, using some more emojis for fun.
echo ๐ฅ Batch process completed. Have a great day! ๐
Finally, this line uses the echo
command to inform the user that the batch process has been completed, along with a cheerful message using emojis.
The batch file combines plain text messages with emojis to provide a fun and informative user experience while carrying out the task of converting a folder's data into a zip archive.
