I have a model builder process that will create a shapefile, that later is retrieved by another process. The other process requires a zip file input. Is there any way I can zip up these files within model builder?

Hello
I can create zip file but the zip file is empty.
zipshape(r"E:\mypath","open")
The modelbuilder wrapper I set up asks for a path and a shapefile root name. I will update the function doc to make that clear. For example, your call above assumes you have a shapefile E:\mypath\open.shp
I created shape file and added date whenever you run the model. Right now I am trying to zip the shapefile and then next step rename it like this : "A_todaydate"
I don't understand this part. what I need to replace.
how can I get already shapefile created and zip it.
