ziping all files in a folder without all directories

Question

I used this command to zip all files in a folder : zip -r fixedrom.zip /sdcard/dbtools/zipfix/fix/ ; It works fine but the zip should be like this : Meta-inf Recovery System Boot.IMG Etc...

But after unziping its like this Sdcard>dbtools>zipfix>fix>(and files and folders above ) How to fix this ? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

zip does indeed keep the entire tree of directories you ask it to backup. Next time, I do recommend you to cd first to the directory that you want to be your root backup; in your case this would be:

cd /sdcard/dbtools/zipfix/fix/ 
zip -rp fixedrom.zip *

Now what you can do is after unzipping move the tree/files to the right directory, as in:

cd sdcard/dbtools/zipfix/fix/
mv * ../../../..
rm -rf sdcard
