pc:ZipUpdate

note

This article is about the pc:ZipUpdate Blend directive.

pc:ZipUpdate​

Compresses a set of files or inline content as entries in a ZIP file. This happens on an INSERT-OR-UPDATE basis. If the file already exists, new entries are added to it, entries with the same names are overwritten, and entries not mentioned in the <pc:ZipFileCreate> directive are left alone.

There is no result value.

Syntax

<pc:ZipUpdate filepath="*file-path*" select="*xpath*">

*input*

</pc:ZipUpdate>

*input*  ::=  [
  { <File              entryname="*entryname*"  path="*file-path*" />          |
    <Content           entryname="*entryname*"> *content* </Content>           |
    <ContentFromBase64 entryname="*entryname*"> *content* </ContentFromBase64>
  }   ... ]

*entryname*  ::=  *relative-file-path*

The required filepath is a path leading to the ZIP file you want to update. This is conventionally a file that has the ".zip" file extension. The optional select attribute can be used to restrict the operation to a specific part of input.

The required input can either be specified as a list of external files to be zipped, or as inline content to be compressed:

  • To supply a list of one or more files, use the <File> element name for each input file. In the path attribute, specify where the file is found on the file system.
  • To supply inline content, supply it as content of a <Content> element or, if the content is binary and 64-bit encoded, as content of a <ContentFromBase64> element.

In either case, for entryname, supply a relative path that determines the place of the zipped file in the internal folder structure of the ZIP file.

Example

<pc:ZipUpdate filepath="{$myjarfile}" >
    <Content entryname="{$myentry}" content="{$NewUServiceClasses}" />
</pc:ZipUpdate>
