Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Zip a file without directory Post 302908474 by rbatte1 on Tuesday 8th of July 2014 06:37:00 AM

So, a few questions to help us first:-
  • What output/errors are you getting?
  • What OS and version?
That should get us some useful information to help if it's not a simple fix, but have you tried changing to the directory /dir1/dir2 and running your command giving the find the starting point of just a . to specify the current directory?
Code:
cd /dir1/dir2
find . -name "asdf*.txt" -print | zip -m /dir1/dir2/dir3/asd_Date.zip  -@

If you zip with the full path, it will extract to exactly the same location.

NAME
vifm - a ncurses based file manager with vi like keybindings SYNOPSIS
vifm [ options ] [ dir1 [ dir2 ]] DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the vifm file manager. This manual page was written for the Debian distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. vifm is a ncurses based file manager with vi like keybindings. If you use vi, vifm gives you complete keyboard control over your files without having to learn a new set of commands. For full documentation, visit the doc directory. A better man page may follow later. OPTIONS
These programs follow the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included below. The optional argument dir1 opens an initial directory in the left pane, the dir2 another one for the right pane respectively. If one or both are missing, the current working directory is used. --help Show summary of options. --version Show version of program. SEE ALSO
vi(1), AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Edelhard Becker <becker@edelhard.de>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others). Edelhard Becker August 27, 2002 VIFM(1)
