How to zip only files and not the full path hierarchy with DotNetZip in powershell?

Question

I\'m trying to zip up log using DotNetZip and powershell. The files are in C:\\user\\temp\\logs When I loop through the logs in the directory and add them to the zip file,

Answer 1

Not tested, but I think this should work.

[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom("c:\\\User\\bin\\Ionic.Zip.dll");
$zipfile = new-object Ionic.Zip.ZipFile("C:\user\temp\logs\TestZIP.zip");

    $directory = "C:\user\temp\logs\"
    set-location $directory
    $children = get-childitem *.log
    foreach ($o in $children)
    {
        $e = $zipfile.AddFile($o.Name)
       }
    }
    $zipfile.Save()
    $zipfile.Dispose()
