Utility to zip many files into separate archives?

[eddo]

As above really, I have a whole directory of files which I need in individual zip files. zip doesn't seem to have this feature as standard and find -exec won't work because you can only use the filename once, where as zip takes two arguments "zip archivename filetobezipped", so any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Thanks a lot, but I don't suppose there's a way of doing it so it removes the file extention for the archive name? E.g. example.exe -> example.zip not example.exe.zip? Many thanks.

No worries, I just used

for file in *.exe.zip ; do mv $file `echo $file | sed 's/\(.*\.\)exe.zip/\1zip/'` ; done

Cheers,

Even simpler, just using the power of bash:
