Mac OS Terminal Zip Command – Run from Omnis
Another question on this…
Does anyone know why Test.df* works in a file path for zipping files but Te*.csv or *.csv does not?
I am trying to get it to zip only selected files in my folder.

Good morning…
Kelly put me on to the answer (or at least an answer in case there is more than one.).
This works.
Do FileOps.$converthfspathtoposixpath(lvBackupFiles,lvBackupFiles)
Do FileOps.$converthfspathtoposixpath(lvBackupZipFile,lvBackupZipFile)
Calculate lvCommand as con(‘do shell script ‘,kDq,’zip -r
‘,kSq,lvBackupZipFile,kSq,’ ‘,kSq,lvBackupFiles,kSq,kDq) ;; Use Built In
Zip
Do $runapplescript(lvCommand,lvResponse) Returns lvError
The key was the Single Quotes around the paths. Do not escape the spaces, that causes the error again.

I can run th efollowing command in OSX Terminal and it will create a Zip file of all the files in the Pictures folder.
Zip -r “Desktop/Omnis 4321/Test.zip” “Desktop/Omnis 4321/Pictures”
However, when I try to do it from Omnis with the below code I get
lvError=1753 (Script Error). I suspect it has to do with the Quotes. Tried several variations but no luck. Any ideas?
Begin text block
Text: do shell script ” Zip -r “Desktop/Omnis 4321/Test.zip” “Desktop/Omnis 4321/Pictures”” (Carriage return) End text block Get text block lvText Do
$runapplescript(lvText,lvReturn) Returns lvError
