JJScript

Zip and destroy

Scans recursively for all files inside a given folder with a specific extension, zips them, and deletes originals.

NOTE: This project is the NodeJS-based solution. For an executable standalone app that runs on Windows, Linux and macOS, try JJpack.

Install

1. Make sure you have NodeJS installed. If you don't, go get it.

2. Copy the whole folder of this project to the location you want to be processed, e.g., if you want ~/user/projects to be processed copy this folder so that it is placed in ~/user/projects/jjscript.

3. Open a console, go inside the jjscript folder, and enter:

npm install

Configuration

By default, files with dwg extension are processed, and original files get deleted after processing.

This can be changed in index.js file in SETUP section at the top:

• extension holds the string for the file extension. NOTE: case is sensitive, meaning that DWG files will NOT be processed, only dwg files.
• deleteAfter can be set to false if original files are to be kept.

Usage

To run, open a console, go inside the jjscript folder, and enter:

npm start

Results will be logged to the console.
