I have a file that placed in the following directory:

folder_A/another_folder_A/file_to_add.xml

Now, what I want to do is simply add the file to a folder in an existing zip archive.

For example this is my zip content:

my_zip.zip/folder_B/another_folder_B

How can I add the file_to_add.xml to the another_folder_B?

my_zip.zip/folder_B/another_folder_B/file_to_add.xml

I don't want to create folders with the same names and add them. Is there a command that allow me to do that?

Do not know a way to do this by 7z or zip tools directly. But, guess most libraries like perl, python etc has a zip module. You can't, however do it in Bash.

Here is a simple example in PHP:

Test case:

$ mkdir -p A/B C/D E/F
$ touch A/B/f1.txt C/D/f2.txt E/F/f3.txt
$ tree .
.
├── A
│   └── B
│       └── f1.txt
├── C
│   └── D
│       └── f2.txt
├── E
│   └── F
│       └── f3.txt

$ ./php_zip -v out.zip -p x/y //f?.txt
$ 7z l out.zip


Listing archive: out.zip


Path = out.zip
Type = zip
Physical Size = 310


Date      Time    Attr         Size   Compressed  Name




2013-04-28 10:24:36 .....            0            0  x/y/f1.txt
2013-04-28 10:24:36 .....            0            0  x/y/f2.txt
2013-04-28 10:24:36 .....            0            0  x/y/f3.txt




                                 0            0  3 files, 0 folders

Usage:

./php_zip [-v|--verbose] archive.zip [<-p|--path> archive-path] files ...

--verbose    Verbose; print what is added and where.
archive.zip  Output file. Created if does not exist, else extended.
--path       Target path in zip-archive where to add files. 
             If not given source path's are used.
files        0+ files.


If -P or --Path (Capital P) is used empty directory entries is added as well.

Code:

(Have not coded PHP in a long time. The code is anyhow only meant as an example to be expanded or other.)

#!/usr/bin/php
<?php

$debug = 0;


function usage($do_exit=1, $ecode=0) {
    global $argv;
    fwrite(STDERR, 
        "Usage: " . $argv[0] .

        " [-v|--verbose] archive.zip" .

        $path .= "/";
    if ($argv[$i][1] == "P")
        $zip->addEmptyDir($path);
    $i += 2;
}


$eno = 0;


for (; $i < $argc; ++$i) {
    if ($path !== "")
        $target = $path . basename($argv[$i]);
    else
        $target = $argv[$i];


if ($verbose)

}

If your directories have the same name inside and outside the zipfile, it's pretty easy. In the directory containing folder, you can do zip my_zip.zip folder -r.

If your structure inside and outside the zipfile is not exactly the same, you'll have to manually recreate it before applying the previous method. As far as I can tell (and after checking in the man page for interesting yet rather ignored functions like update (-u)) there is no way to put a file into an arbitrary directory inside a zipfile.
