Mel To Save Scene Into A Winzip File?

[fishypants]

Hey guys, i know there is a script on here to save the scene into a winRar file, but is this possible with winZip? I know nothing of system commands and am hoping someone could help out or point me into the right direction. Thanks a ton!

I guess winzip is able to access via commandline as well.
So of course it would be possible with "system" command.

yes theres a command line tool set for winip avaliable for download at win zips site. It doesn't come by default, so it must be installed separately.

Anyway winrar can do zip files also if you wish. its just one flag worth of change. SO no pint in having BOTH installed.

Check out 7-zip. http://www.7-zip.org/ It's a freeware zip app, that I have used in my own mel zipping utils. It can easily be fully command line driven. For example, to update a zip with a file at the command line is easy as:

7z u c:\temp\myzip.7z c:\temp\somefile.txt c:\bob\bob.txt

This will update myzip.7z with somefile.txt, and bob.txt
Plus 7zip can read winzip files, rar files, etc. Very nice!
