Batch file help

[Daze]

I'm doing some work where I need to basically just plug in a memory stick, run a .bat file and it should archive specific files and folders. the files consist of mainly error logs (.txt) and .SysHW files (although it shouldn't really matter) and then it should all compress into a .zip 'retriever' file. Now I have a program that already does this for a different machine but appears to be encrypted and unreadable in notepad (I can provide if anyone needs it)

 

Can anyone give me help on this (please do not refer me to google etc. I've already looked)

compact C:\NICE\Config\ /C - will just compress (i need to compress and copy to a new location)

 

XCOPY C:\NICE destination C:\TEST (Red gives me syntax error?)

 

COPY C:\NICE C:\TEST /i works.
