What is the syntax for adding a directory entry to a zip file using the arc/zip addon?
I recently put together a script for zipping and unzipping directory trees using the arc/zip addon (http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Scripts/ZipTrees). While I was developing it I wasn't able to find any info on how to create a directory entry in a zip file, either on the Addon page http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/Addons/arc/zip or in the addon scripts. I thought I'd discovered the method by trial and error. '' zwrite dirname;zipname However I see now that it is only adding a zero length file. (I am "sure" at the time that the addition to the zip turned up as a directory!!! ;-) ) My script works despite this because the script always suffixes the dirname with a '/' & uses that criterion to determine whether an entry in zdir output is a directory or not. But I'd like to get it right if I can. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
