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

If <nLevel> is used, it detemines the compression type where 0 means no compression and 9 means best compression.
If <bBlock> is used, every time the file is opened to compress it will evaluate bBlock. Parameters of bBlock are cFile and nPos.
If <lOverWrite> is used , it toggles to overwrite or not the existing file. Default is to overwrite the file,otherwise if <lOverWrite> is false the new files are added to the <cFile>.
If <cPassword> is used, all files that are added to the archive are encrypted with the password.
If <lWithPath> is used, it tells thats the path should also be stored with the file name. Default is false.
If <lWithDrive> is used, it tells thats the Drive and path should also be stored with the file name. Default is false.

This Mr. EDK....

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.

Hello
Does anyone know the method in HMG to compress files longer than 4GB into ZIP. COMPRESS does this wrong
