Zip archives

[rhofmeyr]

Hi,

I want to add files to a zip archive using the zip command:

zip -m myZip.zip file-1.doc

but I want to rename file-1.doc to 1.doc before I move it to the zip file.

Can someone please help me with this? (I don't want to rename the file first and then zip it - I want to rename it in the zip file, if that makes sense)

Thanks,

Robert Hofmeyr

laziness is an unaccepteble flavor if you era using linux

write a shell script called imlazy.sh that does it automatically (you can execute it in one step)

Thanks ya'll.

But the laziness isn't the problem. I'm outputting files as they appear in a list sequence from 1... upwards. If I write the files to the folder and someone else runs the process concurrently I'll get files overwriting files. Not ideall. All I want to know is if there's someway to pipe output into a zip file? Or even just add files to a zip file but changing the filename in the process?
