How to Zip all files in a folder with Power Shell

I hope below script will help us to zip file in a particular format. 

###Powershell Start

if (-not (test-path "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe")) {throw "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe needed"}

set-alias sz "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" | Out-Null

#### Variables 

$filePath = "f:\t"

$fileEXT = ".txt"

$ziptype = ".7z"

$bak = Get-ChildItem -Recurse -Path $filePath | Where-Object { $_.Extension -eq $fileEXT }

foreach ($file in $bak) {

                    $name = $file.name

                    $directory = $file.DirectoryName

                    $zipfile = $name.Replace($fileEXT,$ziptype)

                    sz a -tzip "$directory\$zipfile" "$directory\$name"      

                }

###Powershell END
