		<description>Just for the heck of it, I decided to take it a bit further. Instead of spamming a bunch of code in this comment box, I&#039;ll just add a link where I&#039;m hosting it if anyone wants to try it out:
http://bmgcl.emuxhaven.net/downloads.htm  -  Scroll to the bottom of the page.

Now the script can: Check for zip/rar files, decompress, recompress into 7z, compare, delete the larger file, error check if the archive is corrupt, and output all actions into a log file. It does pretty much everything that you mentioned was missing, besides counting the number of files converted. I did not add this  because I felt it was kind of redundant, the user should know how many files he/she is attempting to convert. Besides, the log will display ERROR if contents did not extract. Maybe I&#039;ll add it in the future if I&#039;m bored...

I made sure to give credit to Andrew for this wonderful script, it has helped me in so many ways.</description>

		<description>I came across this because I was looking for exactly this. Thank you! I especially liked the script to recompress into 7z then delete the original archive. But like you mentioned,  in some cases the RAR or ZIP may have a better compression ratio. I have modified the script a bit. After it is done compressing, it uses loops to compare the two files, output the archive name, 7z size, rar/zip size, and keep the smaller of the two. Here it is to anyone who is interested:

@ECHO OFF
REM Find all .zip and .rar files in the current directory, recompress them into 7zip files and delete the smaller version.
ECHO Searching for RAR and ZIP files to recompress into 7-Zip archives.
FOR %%F IN (*.rar *.zip) DO (
    ECHO Found %%F to recompress...
    REM Extract contents from the original file.
    &quot;C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z&quot; x &quot;%%F&quot; -o&quot;%%F contents&quot;
    REM Check to see if 7-zip created the directory.
    IF EXIST &quot;%%F contents&quot; (
        REM Change directory, create 7zip of contents of directory.
        CD &quot;%%F contents&quot;
        &quot;C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z&quot; a -t7z &quot;../%%~nF.7z&quot; * -m0=lzma -mx=9 -mmt2 -md=128m -ms=off
        CD ..
        REM Compare the RAR or Zip to the 7z, choose the smaller file, and cleanup the directory.
        FOR %%G IN (*.7z) DO (
            IF %%~nF == %%~nG (
                ECHO.
                ECHO Archive       : %%~nF
