topic Compress Shapefiles into Individual Zipfiles? in Geoprocessing Questions https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/compress-shapefiles-into-individual-zipfiles/m-p/390556#M13330 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I need to take all of the shapefiles in a directory and compress them into individual zip files. This is more complicated than taking the contents of a directory and making one zip file. I need to take, for example, the roads shapefile and get all of the files named roads.* into roads.zip, the schools shapefile, schools.* into schools.zip, and so on, for hundreds of shapefiles.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Any suggestions are appreciated. I did not see any tool that would do this. I assume there is a way to do this in python or another scripting language. I am clueless about how to tell a script to make a zip file for each unique file name (roads.*, schools.*, etc.).</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 29 May 2013 12:43:59 GMT JacobCoble 2013-05-29T12:43:59Z Compress Shapefiles into Individual Zipfiles? https://community.esri.com/t5/geoprocessing-questions/compress-shapefiles-into-individual-zipfiles/m-p/390556#M13330 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I need to take all of the shapefiles in a directory and compress them into individual zip files.
