Zip files from a directory

Question

I need to find files i directory and zip them under the same name.

i am trying the following

find . -name "ABC_*.txt" -mtime +30 -exec sh -c zip '{}' '{}' \;"

But something is wrong.

basically if find command finds 3 files say:

./ABC_1.txt
./ABC_2.txt
./ABC_3.txt

I will need 3 zip files:

./ABC_1.txt.zip
./ABC_2.txt.zip
./ABC_3.txt.zip

thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Try this:

find . -name "ABC_*.txt" -mtime +30 -exec zip "{}.zip" "{}" \;

You are likely overwriting your original file and will need to supply an extension to your ZIP.

Answer 2

您可以使用execdir选项：

find . -name "ABC_*.txt" -mtime +30 -execdir sh -c 'zip "$1.zip" "$1"' - '{}' \;
