Almost perfect!

Code:

-dir=root

pointed me in the right direction to look for the command I needed, I used this site http://www.uwm.edu/~dtoth/pkzip.html#directories to find what I needed. For anyone else it's

Code:

-dir=relative

Another closely related question, right now I have a folder, Folder2 which is in a large directory called Folder1. Inside Folder2, there are other subfolders files etc. How would I put the path down so that my zipped file when extracted would extract Folder2, which would have its other subfolders and files etc?

The code that would be modified is where

Code:

Server.MapPath("Folder2")&"\*.*")

currently is.

The full line is:

Code:

Call CreateZipFile(Server.MapPath("myzip.zip"), Array(Server.MapPath("Folder2")&"\*.*"))

So what it's doing right now is just zipping the stuff inside of Folder2, not the folder itself. Not a big issue, but just wondering how to do it. Thanks again for all your help.

You are using ASP to implement this right? Look at very first few posts of this thread. They give examples on how to do it.

hi ,

i m not able to zip the file
upto here its ok , may be some prb with creating "CreateObject("WScript.Shell")" object.

Code:

  'execute:
	Set objShell=Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
	objShell.Run strCommand, 0, True 'wait!
	'response.write "done"

before this line i have try

Code:

response.write "<br>" &strCommand

and i got one string , and simply i just put this string on
command prompt then its working fine , it creates the zip file
on that location , but if i m trying to do it via this "WScript.Shell"
then its not working (its nt creating zip file)

so wht wrong with this?
plz help
Thankx
