Well, it is as simple as the title. I tried for many hours to make a method that will take the archive file and a File[] (the files that will be added to the archive) and I only made it to the point that the method adds new files into the archive, but if a file with the same name of a file that I'm trying to add already exists, it throws me an error. I tried searching for a solution but didn't find any. Can you help me make a method that will take two parameters: File archive, File[] fileToAdd. That will add files to an archive and if needed will override existing files? Thank you, TheRedCoder
Edit: Here is my current code
public static void addFilesToZip(File zipFile, File[] files) throws IOException {
File tempFile = File.createTempFile(zipFile.getName(), null);
tempFile.delete();
boolean renameOk = zipFile.renameTo(tempFile);
if (!renameOk) {
throw new RuntimeException(
"could not rename the file " + zipFile.getAbsolutePath() + " to " + tempFile.getAbsolutePath());
}
byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
ZipInputStream zin = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(tempFile));
ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(new FileOutputStream(zipFile));
ZipEntry entry = zin.getNextEntry();
while (entry != null) {
File file = null;
String name = entry.getName();
boolean notInFiles = true;
for (File f : files) {
if (f.getName().equals(name)) {
notInFiles = false;
file = f;
break;
}
}
if (notInFiles) {
out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(name));
int len;
while ((len = zin.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
} else {
/**
*
* I'm stuck here, what should i do here?
*
*/
}
entry = zin.getNextEntry();
}
zin.close();
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
InputStream in = new FileInputStream(files[i]);
out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(files[i].getName()));
int len;
while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
out.write(buf, 0, len);
}
out.closeEntry();
in.close();
}
out.close();
tempFile.delete();
}
