Linux – How to zip csv files having specific pattern in a directory using unix shell script

Put this in batch file:

REM Usage: ZipFilesRecursively.bat "C:\My Files"
for /R "%~f1" %%F in (*) do 7z a "%%~dpFfiles.zip" "%%F"

It compresses all and only all files to files.zip archive created in C:\My Files directory and all its subdirectories.

Modifying the answer found here, this piece of PowerShell script should do what you want. Just save it as a file with the Extension ".ps1". When calling it, just call it as ./filename.ps1 and it will extract the files to separate folders, delete the zip files and remove all files with .pdf extension. I have not tested if it works properly with recursive paths, but it should, please test it.

Edit: If you don't want your zip files to be deleted, remove or comment out (#) the line rmdir -Path $_.FullName -Force

Requirements: PowerShell, 7-zip and for you to set the 7-zip path in the file.

param([string]$folderPath="D:\Blah\files")

Get-ChildItem $folderPath -recurse | %{ 

    if($_.Name -match "^*.`.zip$")
    {
        $parent="$(Split-Path $_.FullName -Parent)";    
        write-host "Extracting $($_.FullName) to $parent"

        $arguments=@("e", "`"$($_.FullName)`"", "-o`"$($parent)\$($_.BaseName)`"");
        $ex = start-process -FilePath "`"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe`"" -ArgumentList $arguments -wait -PassThru;

        if( $ex.ExitCode -eq 0)
        {
            write-host "Extraction successful, deleting $($_.FullName)"
            rmdir -Path $_.FullName -Force
            $arguments1="$($parent)\$($_.BaseName)\*.pdf"
            rmdir -Recurse -Path $arguments1
        }
    }
}
