Does anybody know of any way (on Windows) to create an archive (zip, rar,..) and adding files to it by importing a list of files to be added (say from a CSV or text file or simply pasted) that need to be archived. Say I have a simple list of 1,000 files across multiple directories that I want to add to an archive, this would be a much simpler method of doing it than adding each file individually. Also I do not want to arhive the entire directory as it is absolutely massive.
eg: c:\somedir\file1.php c:\somedir\somesubdir\file2.php c:\someotherdir\file3.php ...
And no I do not want to import all files in certain directories, the hundreds of files are scattered across tens of directories which also contain lots of other files that I do not want to archive.
Thanks
rar.exe from WinRAR has the following option:
n@<list> Include files listed in specified list file
