How to exclude file extension when using 7zip cmd line batch

I have a .batch script in my Send to folder on Windows which I use to compress multiple files in the folder to a .zip. The problem I'm having is, it's including the extension in the archive file name.

I've search on google, read a lot of posts on stackexchange etc and none of the solutions posted seem to work for me.

@echo off
for %%A in (*.*) do call :doit "%%A"
goto end

:doit
if "%~x1"==".bat" goto :eof
if "%~x1"==".7z" goto :eof
if "%~x1"==".zip" goto :eof
if "%~x1"==".rar" goto :eof
"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tzip %1.zip %1 -sdel
goto :eof

:end

Myfile.txt -> MyFile.txt.zip

I want to remove the .txt from file name if possible.

I'm not sure of the syntax for your compressor program, because the answer you've accepted looks wrong both in the fact spaces aren't protected and %~n1 may be missing it's extension.

You could probably do this as a single line:

@For /F "Delims=" %%A In ('Dir /B/A-D-S-L "%~1"^|FindStr /IVE "\.7z \.bat \.rar \.zip"') Do @"%ProgramFiles%\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tzip "%%~nA.zip" "%%~A" -sdel

You can use %~n1 which uses the filename only of the first argument. Here is a possible solution:

@echo off
for %%A in (*.*) do (call:doit "%%A")
goto end

:doit
if "%~x1" NEQ ".bat" (
    if "%~x1" NEQ ".7z" (
        if "%~x1" NEQ ".zip" (
            if "%~x1" NEQ ".rar" (
                "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -tzip %~n1.zip %~n1 -sdel

:end
exit /b 0
