Is there a way to automate creation of ZIPs containing files with common name elements?
What I have are multiple variations of the same image:
files/2250/**8199**print.jpg
files/1200x1200/**8199**square.jpg
files/1200x900/**8199**wide1.jpg
files/1200x628/**8199**wide2.jpg
files/480x360/**8199**small.jpg
What I'd like to do is create some sort of application that goes into folders, finds related files (all contain "8199") and then archives them all into a new file named "cartoon8199.zip".
I tried to create an Application via Automator, but couldn't figure out how to make the Name Contains field in Find Finder Items include a variable.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
I'm on a Mac running HighSierra 10.13.3.
Thanks in advance!
