    Zip Directories ignoring Base Directory

    Hi,

    I have the following directory structure:

    /abc/123
    /abc/234
    /abc/345
    /abc/xyz/678
    /abc/xyz/789
    /abc/xyz/890
    /abc/efg/987
    /abc/efg/765
    /abc/efg/654

    I want to create a zip file, using 'zip', of the above but without the /abc. zip -j removes /xyz/ and /efg/ which is not what I want.

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Thanks

    Just cd into /abc and run zip from there.

    Code:
    cd /abc; zip ~/file.zip *
