Batch file script to zip individual files from winrar

Introduction:
Recently, I got a requirement to zip all files individually with batch file script in Windows OS. I don't know much about scripting, but I searched Google and found a lot of examples and websites to complete my task. Finally, I was able to create the below script to complete my task. I have modified the original script as per my requirement & give credit to the creator of this script ( Anonymous ).

Below is the modified script:

@echo off
                      
                      Title autozip.bat
                      
                      REM updated 30/07/2015
                      REM created by: Anonymous
                      REM modified by: Yashwant Vishwakarma
                      
                      REM This script compresses files in a folder Note: files with the same name 
                      REM but with different extensions will be in the same archive.
                      
                      path=%path%;"c:\program files\winrar"
                      
                      REM ****************** Folder to compress******************
                      set dir=C:\testzip
                      REM *******************************************************
                      
                      REM change to directory
                      cd %dir%
                      
                      echo Folder to compress in *.RAR format:
                      echo %dir%
                      
                      echo Compressing files started....
                      
                      REM Compress files in directory individually without subdirectories
                      
                      echo.
                      FOR %%i IN (*.*) do (
                      rar a "%%~ni" "%%i"
                      )
                      goto eof

In the original batch file script, there were 7 options which required manual intervention to choose and perform tasks. However, I want to completely automate this task so I modified it and its working absolutely fine for me.
