That is a list of all of my folders. I need zip files created of all of those files. I can get everything I need when I do find -maxdepth 1
It will show all of those directories. Now. I need to zip the contents of those directories. to zip files. named after the folder they came out of. So. all the files in weather-system, would come out as a zip file. which has the contents of weather-system in the weather-system.zip. without the folder called weather system inside. so. instead of

weather-system.zip
-weather-system(D)
-Files and such

I need
weather-system.zip
-Files and such

If you have any idea how to do it. I would be in a much better shape.

I have been trying something like
find -maxdepth 1 -exec zip {} {}/* \;
but. that looks ridiculous. and doesn't work

First off, you need to specify one or more path arguments to man find (linux), as in:

find * -maxdepth 1 -exec zip {} {}/* \;

However, find does not interpolate pattern matching characters, so "*" is not expanded as you expect. You need to invoke the zip in a shell, as follows:

find * -maxdepth 1 -exec sh -c 'zip {} {}/*' \;

Alternately, you could have:

for dir in *; do
    zip ${dir} ${dir}/*
done

You clever bastard! This is pure win!

M'whahahah

I spoke too soon. It worked once. then it stopped working. Not sure what happened. Its not getting the whole * thing. It still grabs the parent directory. Not sure why. I think its considered the relative path.

What you can do is:

find * -maxdepth 1 -exec echo sh -c 'zip {} {}/*' \;

and

find * -maxdepth 1 -exec sh -c 'echo zip {} {}/*' \;

to determine what is being invoked.
