Question : unzip, selective copy of TXT files

Please see attached files.
I need to regularly process incomming zip files that always have only one TXT file in them.
Some months there are three zip files, other months there are five.
Keeping this in mind, I want to do the following with a script, wiothout it caring if there are 3,4 or 5 zips in a directory:

look in "C:\incoming\1", "C:\incoming\2", "C:\incoming\3", to the n directories...
(dont confuse the number of directories within incoming as whatever number of zip files there are)
The script will look in numerical order at Both directories and zip files.
The zip files will always be called, for example week1.zip, week2.zip, week3.zip, week4.zip

On a zip by zip basis, unzip to a temp area, then remove line 1 (which is always the same) then copy the content to C:\output\final.txt.
This is continues through all the directories and zip files in order. The data for ALL the zips are appended to the same file final.txt

Thanks

C
