Hi All,
I would like to "zip" a file using perl script. I used following command:-
system ("zip <zip name> <file name>");
However this command fails when the filename is more than 8 characters. Since DOS does not support more than 8 characters. Is there any way by which I can zip a file, whose name is 9+ characters long? I am working on Windows 2000.
As long as you are using Win9x and up, you can do something like:
system "zip \"<zip name>\" \"<file name\""; # (I don't know if DOS supports single quotes)
If you're looking for a more universal solution, here would probably be a good place to start:
