Question

I have a .lst file that has the paths of various data that has to be zipped. The path may be a direct path to an executable or a path to a log file or may contain a wildcard like – c:\abc*.exe. How do I zip all of them into a single zip file? Thanks

DotNetZip Library is @:http://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=CS-examples&referringTitle=Examples

Contents of .lst file :

c:\log\abc.log

c:\log\def.log

c:\ping*.bat

c:\ping*.exe

This is what I tried:

using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())     
{                      
   StreamReader file = File.OpenText("C:\\pingman\\pingzipA.lst");
   string read = String.Empty;

   while ((read = file.ReadLine()) != null)                  
   {                                      
      zip.AddSelectedFiles(read, true);    
      zip.Save("c:\\update.zip");       
   }

   file.Close();   
}

Try something like:

 while ((read = file.ReadLine()) != null)                  
 {              
   if (read.Contains("*"))                        
   {
       zip.AddSelectedFiles(read, true);    
   }
   else
   {
       zip.AddFile(read);
   }
 }
 zip.Save("c:\\update.zip");
