Hi all

 I have created a wee routine that adds a file to an existing zip...however I it adds the full path. I need for them to be just on the top level..as when I ship these files the other side processes them on mainframe and they cant cope with the full path...it throws file to long error

I saw from an old post thatPath.GetFileName might work but this just cause the source zip file not to be found... can anyone advise me how to fix this??

Public Function AddtoZip(ByVal source As String, ByVal myFile As String) As Boolean

'*** Source file to add

If (Not (File.Exists(source))) Then

Return False

End If

Dim mySourceZip As String

Try

'Dim myZip As ZipFile = New ZipFile(source)

Catch

Return False

End Try

Return True

End Function

After mucking about with the routine I can get it to add my file into the Zip without a path, however its using the same name as the zip file.

 Can anyone lep with last bit?

Dim myZip As ZipFile = New ZipFile(source)
          
            myZip.BeginUpdate()

            'This add the file but with current zipped name
            myZip.NameTransform = New ZipNameTransform(myFile)
            myZip.Add(myFile)

           
            myZip.CommitUpdate()
            myZip.Close()

Can anyone help with this??

ZipFile zf = ZipFile.Create(zipFilePath);

zf.BeginUpdate();

Thanks...I will give that a try...I am adding to an existing zip file dont know if that matters

 cheers George

It shouldn't matter. Just use the code that begins with the "BeginUpdate()"

On the trans form you seem to use \\, my path doesnt tend to have that ie "c:\zip\DemoZip.zip"

 Is this passing the file name or the path to the filename into transform?
