Hola Masters,
1. How to add/update files into existing zip file?

I backup files in zipfile, and only want to update only the changed files. Using hb_zipopen () will erase all the files in zip making the zipfile size to 0byte.

I cant find any function to open for append/update.
Pls advise n thanks a lot

Thks n rgd

Hola Masters,

i tried hb_zipfile() and found :

1. With the lOverWrite set to .F., we may have two/more same filename in the zipfile.

2. It always create a new zipfile, this prevent us from adding files into an existing zipfile. ( this is my question is about).

3. It does not include subdir in the zipfile

4. It support the wildcard *.*

So,.. i still need any suggestion on how to add files to an existing zipfile without erasing the existing-files in the zipfile.

thks n rgds
