How to batch-compress multiple folders - China DOS Union Forum

I have 50 folders under one folder.
Does anyone know how to use commands to compress each of them separately, preferably with passwords too, and run it in batch?
Compressing them one by one is too troublesome.

'willsort' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program
or batch file.

Can you post willsort, and also give me an example?

Take a look at RAR's command-line syntax

Oh, sorry, I got it wrong. willsort isn't a command, it's a member. He has posted too much stuff, it's like looking for a needle in the sea

That's a lot, thanks!
So how do I solve my problem then? Please just help me write the code

Maybe I need to use the for command? My eyes are a bit blurry right now, could someone write it out step by step? Everyone was fed by someone when they were little.

@echo off
for /f "delims=" %%i in ('dir /ad /b') do (
  "%programfiles%\winrar\rar.exe" a -hp12345 "%%i".rar "%%i"
  )
pause

Assuming the OP's WINRAR path is like this.

I’m posting the code written by willsort.

:: RarExt.bat - Add separate compression function to WinRAR
:: Will Sort - 17:38 2005-3-27 - WinXP
:: 2005-4-1 3'rd Updated
@echo off
if %0=="%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\RarExt.bat" goto Compress

:Configure
if not exist "%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\Rar.exe" echo WinRAR not found, cannot configure! & goto end
if exist %0 copy %0 "%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\RarExt.bat">nul
if exist %0.bat copy %0.bat "%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\RarExt.bat">nul
if not exist "%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\RarExt.bat" echo Failed to create batch file RarExt.bat! & goto end

reg add HKCR\*\shell\CompressRespectivelyWithRAR /ve /t REG_SZ /d "Compress all current files/folders separately into RAR files(&Y)" /f>nul
if errorlevel 1 echo Registry modification failed! & goto end
reg add HKCR\*\shell\CompressRespectivelyWithRAR\command /ve /t REG_SZ /d "%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\RarExt.bat" /f>nul
if errorlevel 1 echo Registry modification failed! & goto end
reg add HKCR\Folder\shell\CompressRespectivelyWithRAR /ve /t REG_SZ /d "Compress all files/folders under this folder separately into RAR files(&Y)" /f>nul
if errorlevel 1 echo Registry modification failed! & goto end
reg add HKCR\Folder\shell\CompressRespectivelyWithRAR\command /ve /t REG_SZ /d "%ProgramFiles%\WinRAR\RarExt.bat \"%%L\"" /f>nul
if errorlevel 1 echo Registry modification failed! & goto end
echo Successfully set the WinRAR separate compression option. You can use this function from the right-click menu on files or folders!
pause
goto end

:Compress
for /d %%d in (%1.\*.*) do "%ProgramFiles%.\WinRAR\rar" a -r -inul %1.\"%%~nxd.rar" "%%~nxd"
for %%f in (%1.\*.*) do "%ProgramFiles%.\WinRAR\rar" a -r -inul %1.\"%%~nf.rar" "%%~nxf"

:end

How do I add a password?

How to add a password was already posted in reply #6.

:Compress
for /d %%d in (%1.\*.*) do "%ProgramFiles%.\WinRAR\rar" a -r -hp123  -inul %1.\"%%~nxd.rar" "%%~nxd"
for %%f in (%1.\*.*) do "%ProgramFiles%.\WinRAR\rar" a -r -hp123 -inul %1.\"%%~nf.rar" "%%~nxf"

This way, 123 is the password.
