Zip a file with no extension

I would like to include in my zip file a particular file name On_Resume which has no file extension.

This does not work.

Code:
zip -u Ubuntu_Documents.zip *.txt *.doc *.rtf *.html *.png *.pdf *.odt *.ods *.odg *.csv *.png *.xls On_Resume*

Code:
$ touch on_resume
$ zip -u something.zip on_resume*
$ unzip -l something.zip

Archive:  something.zip
  Length      Date    Time    Name
---------  ---------- -----   ----
        0  04-04-2019 09:08   on_resume
---------                     -------
        0                     1 file

$

In what way does it "not work"? I suspect it has nothing to do with the extension and more to do with the file not matching your expression.

Hi drew77...

And to add to Corona688's reply you have "*.png" twice.
Just an observation.

Code:
andy@7_~/bin$ ls On*
On_host.sh  On_Resume
andy@7_~/bin$

What is even stranger is that it zips up a On_Resume.sh which is not even present in the directory or anywhere else?

Update:

On_Resume is a script, so I added the sh extension. Problemo solved.

Why are you appending a * for a file you give its full name? I could understand On_Re* ...

Removed the *.

No change.

Even tried it with other no extension files.

Maybe it's a conspiracy. :-)

On a lark, try:

Code:
echo zip -u Ubuntu_Documents.zip *.txt *.doc *.rtf *.html *.png *.pdf *.odt *.ods *.odg *.csv *.png *.xls On_Resume*

Which will at least solve the question of whether it's being expanded wrong, or zip itself is revolting here...
