Re: Hot to Zip files inside an IFS folder

Yeah, I used the wrong syntax for "everything in this folder".  If your files all have extensions then *.* works, but if you don't have extensions it won't.  I had file1.txt and file2.txt, so it worked for me.  :)  The better method is to use the single dot syntax (even though that's just not intuitive to an old DOS/green screen guy like me).

The OP mentioned the manifest file - he did not know that the -M option will suppress that, as you show in your example.

Which I tried - it gave me an empty ZIP file. The *.* was the problem.

Either of these commands worked for me, after doing the  -

jar -çfM ./my.zip ./*

jar -cfM ./my.zip .

Now it is also possible to specify the directory to change to just while the command is executed, so this works, but you have to specify the full path to the ZIP file, since the internal CD is not in effect when the command is first called -

jar -cfM /myf/g/wrk/l1.zip -C /myf/g/wrk

Hi Gio!

The jar command is a Unix-y thing and is a little finicky.  How it works depends on what your current directory is.  The way to do what you want requires changing your current directory:

cd /myf/g/wrk
jar -cfM ./my.zip ./*.*

That should do it!
