Hi!

I wonder, if anyone could help me with my problem.

I have a folder with ~100 files. Now I need to:
- archive every single one of these files in a separate archive,
- archive name equal to the file name except all dots ("."), spaces (" ") and dashes ("-") removed,
- password-protected and
- multi-parts á 400MB.

Structure is like this:

Folder
-File.Number.One.txt
-File.Number.Two.txt
-File.Number.Three.txt
-File.Number.Four.txt

And archives should look like this:

Folder
-filenumberone.part1.rar
-filenumberone.part2.rar
-filenumberone.part3.rar
-filenumberone.part4.rar

-filenumbertwo.part1.rar
-filenumbertwo.part2.rar
-filenumbertwo.part3.rar
-filenumbertwo.part4.rar
... and so on

Does anybody know a solution to my problem?

I tried using the command line tool but I failed when it comes to renaming and compressing separately :(

Thx in advance :)

EDIT: OS is Windows

1) open the folder containing 100 files, select all (ctrl +A ) 100 files and right click add to archive

2) go to general tab choose filesize to 400MB

3) go to files tab and Tick Put each file to seperate archive


and then you are done


for the file name ,Before compressing use any good file rename software to rename all files except all dots ("."), spaces (" ") and dashes ("-") removed (whatever condition you have )

That's it

Thanks for the help! But I got that far by myself but the problem with that way is that the original filename should not be changed when archived. :(

it will archive like this

You can call me the dumbest idiot in the whole www :D Tried it now and it really works :D Nevertheless, thanks for wasting your precious time with me :D

Now, I only need to rename the files with a batch renamer and I get exactly the result I needed :)
