This page is edited from the 1cmdfaq.txt faq-file contained in
my tscmd.zip
command line interface (CLI) collection. That zipped file has much
additional material, including a number of detached .cmd script
files. It is recommended that you also get the zipped version as a
companion.

98} How do I equate all zip files with the date of their latest file?
A typical archive maintainer's task.

set ziprog=
C:\_F\FTOOLS\ZIP.EXE
:: The zip-program needs the local Time Zone information
set tz_=%TZ%
set TZ=Europe/Helsinki
:: Check that there are zip files to be processed
if not exist "*.zip" goto _nofile
:: Do the timestamping
for %%f in ("*.zip") do
"%ziprog%" -o %%f
:: Show the results
dir "*.zip" | find /i ".ZIP"
:: Restore the original Time Zone variable in case it had a different value
set TZ=%tz_%

Before running the script we might have
27.12.2009 20:07 21,678 test.zip
27.12.2009 19:46 1,178,993 XPAD_.ZIP
The output could be e.g.
C:\_D\TEST>C:\_D\TOOLS\ZIPOTS.CMD
16.10.2009 12:41 21,678 test.zip
07.12.2009 07:33 1,178,993 XPAD_.ZIP
If, instead of the Info-ZIP zip program you have the
command-line
module for
Winzip,
substitute
set ziprog=C:\Program Files\WinZip\WZZIP.EXE
if defined ProgramW6432 set ziprog=C:\Program Files (x86)\WinZip\WZZIP.EXE
and
for %%f in ("*.zip") do "%ziprog%" -o %%f -x"*.*"
If you are using the
7-Zip file
archiver, onto a single .7z file apply (and so on for multiple files)
set ziprog=C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe
"%ziprog%" d -stl "C:\_M\SevenTest.7z" nul
