How to zip the Web update files.

[NewsArchive]

If you do the same thing again and again, write a template...
In the wonderfull SB world, it must be write a script.

I make updates on daily base at the time beeing.
At the end i compress the full cotent of the \WEB folder, and oploads it via
FTP
SB7 has a zip function, but where to place it, so it starts after all the
cluster files has been made?
Seems like this function too needs a 'Process after compile' tick.

BTW, from the doc's (Yes, I am reading them!)
Please put double-quotes around the file specification if you are processing
"long" file names.
Does that mean, that I should use:
"J:\easyflex\Salg\Script\SetupEasyplan2\Web\*.*" ?
Or perhaps:
"J:\easyflex\Salg\Script\SetupEasyplan2\Web\*"

Both "#ftp upload" and "#zip file(s)..." directives have a "Process after
script compilation" checkbox in SB7.

Just add the following somewhere to your script:

#zip file from "c:\copytest\*.*" to "c:\copytest\testftp.zip" [Post-compile]
#ftp upload "c:\copytest\testftp.zip" to ftp.lindersoft.com [Post-compile]

The first line zips, the second line uploads it (at the end of the
compilation process).

Double-quotes are not required and supported in the #zip file(s) directive
:)

Does this help?

I looked at Zip Files instead of "#zip file(s)..."
Does that confuse?
Yes!
Does your answer help?

Seems like i have one problem left:
J:\easyflex\Salg\Script\SetupEasyplan2\Web\*.*
Does compress:
Easyplan.wud
Setup.exe
But does not compress:
Setup_00001
Setup_00002
etc
All the Cluster files.
I have 186!
