Windows Logfile Archival Script

There’s a zlib extension to Ruby? I am unfamiliar with it.

By the way, there is a zlib extension which you can use instead of
relying on WinZip installed on your computer.

I wanted to share a handy code snippet. This comes in very handy on
Windows
boxes for archiving log files. This will require that WinZip as well as
its
command line utilities are installed. Apologies in advance if this isn’t
the place to share code. Just let me know. If this code can be done more
elegantly or concisely, please share.

#/usr/bin/env ruby
require ‘ftools’

Dir.chdir(“C:/Logfiles”)
files = Dir[“*.log”]
files.each {|file| system(“"/Program Files/WinZip/WZZIP.EXE" -m
"C:\Logfiles\Archived.zip" " +”"" + file + “"”)}
