I did not see this bounce back to me so I am sending it again. I wonder if
the problem was with HTML/plain formatting?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm trying to use sun's jar utility (from Sun's java development kit) along
with the Cygwin find command to selectively zip together a directory tree
and send it to someone that can explode the tree using WinZIP or PKZIP.

I suppose it off topic to discuss the jar utility here. I'm looking for an
appropriate mailing list to solicit help with jar (suggestions are welcome).

The following does not work because it just grabs all the files in my
directory. I tried using the -print on find that did not help. I tried
removing the "@" pipe find into xargs and that did not work.


/usr/bin/find "." \( ! -name \*.pch -a ! -path \*CVS\* \) | jar cvf@
..\\archive.zip

Since we are not allowed to discuss jar here, is there a Cygwin utility that
produces Windows ZIP files that will work with find?

I even tried tar (even though it is not the format I want). Why does this
not work?

/usr/bin/find "." \( ! -name \*.pch -a ! -path \*CVS\* \) | xargs tar cvf
../archive.zip

 
The problem is the same: all the files are included. I also, for all of the
above, tried using the -print on the find command but that did not help.

 
Oh - and one last question: is there any document that compares bzip with
bzip2 and gnuzip and winzip?

 

  Thanks,

      Siegfried
