The script executes and moves the copies the matching directory (parent) only. The sub-folders within it are not copied over.
So the filename in green below is copied but not the subdirectories within it. Thank you Smilie.

Code:
R_2019_01_23_13_22_58_user_S5-0271-96-v5.6_Oncomine_Childhood_Cancer_Research_DNA_and_Fusions   --- top level ---
   f1  --- subfolder under R_2019_01_23_13_22_58_user_S5-0271-96-v5.6_Oncomine_Childhood_Cancer_Research_DNA_and_Fusions ---
    zip --- zip file in f1 ---
   f2   --- subfolder under R_2019_01_23_13_22_58_user_S5-0271-96-v5.6_Oncomine_Childhood_Cancer_Research_DNA_and_Fusions ---
    zip --- zip file in f2 ---
   f3   --- subfolder under R_2019_01_23_13_22_58_user_S5-0271-96-v5.6_Oncomine_Childhood_Cancer_Research_DNA_and_Fusions ---

struct zip_source *s; if ((s=zip_source_buffer(archive, buffer, len)) == NULL || zip_add(archive, name, s) 0) { zip_source_free(s); printf("error adding file: %s0, zip_strerror(archive)); } ERRORS
