How will the list of files be given to your script? Do you have a pattern that is used to select the files to be zipped, or do you have a file that contains the list of files to be zipped?
Is your script supposed to search a directory for sets of files with the same timestamp and zip each set?
Should we assume that you're using a Solaris system for this problem as in some of your earlier threads?
And what shell are you using?
Thanks for the response. I just need to zip certain txt files in a one particular directory and do not have to do any search or zip the files in the subdirectories at all. The files are generated by some other process in a given directory. I just have to zip them. Filenames are given below.
I am using Solaris and Ksh shell.
So I have a directory DIR, say DIR1. Lets say there are three files with the same date and time in the DIR1 directory(please see below the filenames). I need to zip the three files (shown below). ALL Files will have same date and time in them as shown below. The zip file needs to have the date and time same as in the files getting zip.
Thanks

zipgrep
ZIPGREP(1L)ZIPGREP(1L)NAME
zipgrep - search files in a ZIP archive for lines matching a pattern
SYNOPSIS
zipgrep [egrep_options] pattern file[.zip] [file(s) ...] [-x xfile(s) ...]
DESCRIPTION
zipgrep will search files within a ZIP archive for lines matching the given string or pattern. zipgrep is a shell script and requires
egrep(1) and unzip(1L) to function. Its output is identical to that of egrep(1).
ARGUMENTS
pattern
The pattern to be located within a ZIP archive. Any string or regular expression accepted by egrep(1) may be used. file[.zip] Path
of the ZIP archive. (Wildcard expressions for the ZIP archive name are not supported.) If the literal filename is not found, the
suffix .zip is appended. Note that self-extracting ZIP files are supported, as with any other ZIP archive; just specify the .exe
suffix (if any) explicitly.
[file(s)]
An optional list of archive members to be processed, separated by spaces. If no member files are specified, all members of the ZIP
archive are searched. Regular expressions (wildcards) may be used to match multiple members:
* matches a sequence of 0 or more characters
? matches exactly 1 character
[...] matches any single character found inside the brackets; ranges are specified by a beginning character, a hyphen, and an end-
ing character. If an exclamation point or a caret (`!' or `^') follows the left bracket, then the range of characters within
the brackets is complemented (that is, anything except the characters inside the brackets is considered a match).
(Be sure to quote any character that might otherwise be interpreted or modified by the operating system.)
[-x xfile(s)]
An optional list of archive members to be excluded from processing. Since wildcard characters match directory separators (`/'),
this option may be used to exclude any files that are in subdirectories. For example, ``zipgrep grumpy foo *.[ch] -x */*'' would
search for the string ``grumpy'' in all C source files in the main directory of the ``foo'' archive, but none in any subdirectories.
Without the -x option, all C source files in all directories within the zipfile would be searched.
OPTIONS
All options prior to the ZIP archive filename are passed to egrep(1).
