do archive every files that has the extension .txt for every given file listed from the command dir /b according to the variable %%c.

gzip is a program / operation to archive file. the %GZIP% is a parameter / routine / process defined elsewhere.

I don't know what's parameter /b:d in the dir command, as far as I know there is no such parameter. /b will output bare formatting of the files in the respective directory, but :d (colon d) is unknown.

%%c is a self defined parameter, it can be anything.

/a:d is attributes only show directories<br />
