ZipOutputStream problem

Question

hi, im creating zip file which contains two files. The problem is that it will create path folder in the zip where my file is located if im zipping more than one file.
I will give example to make it clear. When my file is located in C:\User\Admin\Desktop\test\file.txt. The zip will contain user folder, admin folder, desktop folder, test folder and then file.txt. which is supposed to be file.txt only. The code works fine if im zipping only one file but when two files this problem will occur.
try {
String [] inFilename = {"C:\\Users\\Desktop\\test\\oral-care-jul.28.2009.0937am.txt","C:\\Users\\Nelson\\Desktop\\RemoveBadWords test\\oral-care-jul.28.2009.0937am.csv"};
String outFilename = "C:\\Users\\Desktop\\test\\outfile3.zip";
                         ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream( new FileOutputStream(outFilename));
                         for (int i=0; i<inFilename.length; i++) {
                              // Add ZIP entry to output stream.
                              out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(inFilename));
                         FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(inFilename[i]);
                         byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
                         int len;
                         while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
                         out.write(buf, 0, len);          
                              in.close();
                              out.closeEntry();     
                         out.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
System.out.println(e);
}Please help, how can i get rid of the folder. Thank in advanced.

Answer 1

Im little confused, although i think i got what you mean. The full path in out.putNextEntry method is the responsible for the creation of unwanted folder.
For the sake of other below is the working code:
                     try {
                         String [] inFilename = {"C:\\Users\\Desktop\\test\\oral-care-jul.28.2009.0937am.txt","C:\\Users\\Desktop\\RemoveBadWords test\\oral-care-jul.28.2009.0937am.csv"};
                         String outFilename = "C:\\Users\\Desktop\\test\\outfile6.zip";
                       String [] files = {"oral-care-jul.28.2009.0937am.txt","oral-care-jul.28.2009.0937am.csv"};
                         ZipOutputStream out = new ZipOutputStream(
                           new FileOutputStream(outFilename));
                         for (int i=0; i<inFilename.length; i++) {
                              // Add ZIP entry to output stream.
                              out.putNextEntry(new ZipEntry(files));
                         FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(inFilename[i]);
                         byte[] buf = new byte[1024];
                         int len;
                         while ((len = in.read(buf)) > 0) {
                         out.write(buf, 0, len);          
                              in.close();
                                   out.close();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                    System.out.println(e);
                    }Thanks for sharing your thought ejp. I really appreciate it. :) cheers..
