Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi,

Please help me,

i need a single line command for te below steps

1: listing a directory
2: searching a particular pattern in the names and creating the zip files of each

eg :

Code:

ls -lrt | grep jil | awk '{print $9}'

output is 

kap.jil
pranabjil
pranabjil1
pranabjil2
tmpjil12
a.jil
pppppp.jil
partyref.jil
kkkkkkk.jil
retjil.ksh
newjil
newprodjil.lt
newprodjil.box
newprodjil
xxxxxxxx.jil
xxxx.jil
tmpjil1
temp.jil

I am searching the pattern with jil. and i am getting the file name. I want the zip files of them.

Please advice me on this.

Thanks in advance.
