Hi,

I have a folder that will have lots of files in them i want to backup *.bak and *.txt files into a zip file using winzip and then name the zip ETC-DD-MM-YYY

I will use this on daily basis as a scheduled task. So when run check the path for the ext . Copy them and zip them and save to another path.

this is the code for 7zip. Not sure what the commandline for winzip 9 is, maybe somebody else can help here. However if you want to use winzip you just need to modify the last line.
