Zipping multiple directories
 

Hi guys i have multiple directories as such

.../Claymore/1.001/
.../Claymore/1.002/
.../Claymore/1.003/
.../Claymore/etc...

How do I compress each directory inside /Claymore/ using the names of the directories for the names of the output tar or zip files.

I do basically what you want in my blog entry. The only part you would need would be this...

do i just throw this into a terminal or do i have to do something else with it first?

just in a terminal would work for a one shot use, i do something like that all the time, or you could save it in a text file named something like 'multizip.sh' and chmod +x the file so you can run it as a shell script from within the current directoyr (or move it somewhere in the path like /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin as root)
