I have a folder structure of:

-MAIN
-- Branches
---001
---002
---003

I want to zip 003 up so I have a zip of 

-MAIN
--Branches
---003

I'm using: 

7z a "C:\My Files.zip" "C:\MAIN\Branches\003"

But this gives me a folder of just 003 in My Zip without the folders before it.

Any ideas?

    this is expected. you added only that folder. you need to start from top and exclude all what you don't want - [see here](https://superuser.com/questions/97342/7zip-command-line-exclude-folders-by-wildcard-pattern) – Zina Jun 01 '20 at 15:12
  • I'm struggling to see if I can apply that logic, I use a variable of %branch% to identify 001 / 002 / 003. I'm not sure how i'd exclude the folders i didn't want without explicitly calling them out. – Ian Jun 02 '20 at 10:19

    unfortunately yes, you will need to specify them, I suggest you make two files eg. exclude.txt and include.txt and call 7zip with the @filename for include and exclude parameters – Zina Jun 02 '20 at 14:00
