Bash script to zip folders into files

I downloaded a lot of manga through news groups and I want to zip each folder into individual files.  I was wondering if anyone can code a script to do it?

Yep, somebody could code a script to do it.

Doesn't mean they're going to though.

Use something like gzip from the command line, and supply the directories.  It should walk through them and compress it for you. I don't think you need a script.

Japanese are superior! US should have allied with them and kicked Chink & Soviet butt together until there be non left. Also with coupled effort of best US and Japanese scientist we could have developed all manner of nuclear and biological weapons before anyone else. Then we could have brought Germany to it's knees with nukes integrate it to our empire, stole their cool uniforms and make Swastika symbol of true freedom. Brits would be integrated to our empire with their noble elite executed. After all is done we should slave Africa, make our own empire into libertarian dictatorship and proclaim ourselves gods. Finally we should focus on making our superior white and Japanese races into immortal machine men, start conquering space, breed cat eared shota and loli sex slaves etc. It would have been most awesome and decadent nation ever. Superior to anything, even Ancient Romans and Greeks.

Japanese are superior! US should have allied with them and kicked Chink & Soviet butt together until there be non left.

We actually tried this - but the Japanese betrayed us when they attacked Pearl Harbor.

Oh and gtfo.

cd ~/manga
for DIR in *; do
    tar -czf $DIR.tar.gz $DIR
done

Or something like that. I'm not a bash guru or anything, this is just off the top of my head.

Or for windows command line:

for /D %a in (*) do del /q zip "%a\*" "%a.zip"

Nice. Worked perfectly.

Didnt work for me.  All it did was delete the files in the directories.  Is there anything else that needs to be done so that does work.

>>9
maybe remove the del /q part

for DIR in *; do
    if [ -d $DIR ]
        then zip -r ${DIR}.zip "$DIR"
    fi
done

Lol, you bastard.
