ABzipunzip - how not to zip subdirectory

[Shay]

Hi

I have:
My app dir, inside I have few files that I wish to backup
I created backup dir, inside my app dir

and running this
MyZip.ABZipDirectory(File.DirDefaultExternal,File.DirDefaultExternal&"/Backup/Backup.bak")

but it casues some kind of loop, since it has to backup also it self
how can i zip my files, without the sub-dir

I don't think that it is possible. You will need to create a new sub folder for all the files that need to be included in the backup.

unzip, ir removing first letter - why?


See - zip is ok:

I checked the bak file, it seems that the problem is with the zip, even that the log is showing zip ok,
I will try to check my code again

I think it's a sort of bug in ABZipDirectory. Try putting a "/" character at the end of the sourceDir parameter.

 

[Shay]

already have

MyDir = File.DirRootExternal & "/BarrierPlusBackup/"
sdRoot = File.DirDefaultExternal&"/"

MyZip.ABZipDirectory(sdRoot,MyDir & "Backup.bak")

Ah yes, I now see why that doesn't work. It's a solid bug I'm afraid! I thought that remembered that it has been reported before! http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...11298-abzipunzip-abzipdirectory-function.html

is anyone is going to fix this?
