help trying to figure out a batch shell script to zip each file in a directory into its own zip file

using this code but it does not work

tryed this also

nothing seems to work , just ends without zipping any files

i have over 3000 files i need to zip up individualy

files to be zipped are in this format 123.flv.3gp

hopfully ending up like 123.flv.3gp.zip

is the file structure the problem

running a single zip command from shell seems to work ok

thanks for help in advance

The first script looks excellent, if you run it like 3gptozip *.3gp

sorry to be a bit stupid but how or what do i change and where to make this work
am i not doing the

zip -j "$f.zip" "$f"


part right


or is there a problem, in the echo commands

i was tying to run it with

nohup ./3gptozip.sh &

and

./3gptozip.sh

but is that the problem

thanks, i'm new to shell scripting by the way

The problem is that you need to list the files you want to zip on the command line, the script doesn't contain this information. "$@" contains the arguments passed to the script on the command line.

how whould i do that in shell ??

is it something like

nohup ./3gptozip.sh *.3gp &

or

./3gptozip.sh *.3gp

or is that the incorrect way to do it, thanks for help by the way

thanks works ok now
