Problem in using Ionic.Zip namspace

Question

I am using Ionic.zip to zip up the files.

You consider there are 2 files in c:\\img\\a.txt and b.txt. When zip up these files as following

using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
{
    zip.AddItem(@"F:\imp\a.txt");
    zip.AddItem(@"F:\imp\b.txt");
    zip.AddItem(@"F:\imp\lookup.ini");
    zip.AddItem(@"F:\imp\lookups.mdb");
    zip.Save("Lookups.zip");
}

It is creating lookups.zip file correctly. But the problem is content of zip file is...

there is one directory named as imp and it is contains those 2files.

But i do not need of the directory entry only i need files which i added.

Please help me.

Answer 1

As shown in the documentation , use the overload which accepts two strings - one for the directory in the zip file:

using (ZipFile zip = new ZipFile())
{
    zip.AddItem(@"F:\imp\a.txt", "");
    zip.AddItem(@"F:\imp\b.txt", "");
    zip.AddItem(@"F:\imp\lookup.ini", "");
    zip.AddItem(@"F:\imp\lookups.mdb", "");
    zip.Save("Lookups.zip");
}

(That looks like 4 files to me, not 2, and in imp rather than img... but never mind.)
