How to Zip a File through Alteryx Without Using 3rd party apps

Does anyone know how to zip files through Alteryx without using 3rd Party apps? 

 

With the help of the community, I managed to understand how to use a small stream to write a .bat file to upload to the Run Command tool to order my pc to zip a file using 7zip but I would like to find a different method of zipping more internally within my pc (Windows). I've seen online threads about using tar.exe or powershell but I don't understand the language around those applications well enough to write them properly. 

 

Thanks,

 

Brian

Hey @brianvtran,

I've uploaded a Zip File Tool to the gallery if you want to try that Zip File Tool - Alteryx Community.
