There is no need to exclude certain files with DIZipWriter. TDIZipWriter.AddFile('Filename') just adds the one file specified. Your application can iterate the files in question (for example using my DIFileFinder component) and only call TDIZipWriter.AddFile() for those matching your criteria. This is very easy with my DIFileFinder component: You can create an instance of TDIWildFileFinder and exclude *.exe files like this: var cDeflate: TYuDeflateCompressor; FileFinder: TDIWildFileFinder; ZipWriter: TDIZipWriter; begin ZipWriter := TDIZipWriter.Create(nil); try cDeflate := TYuDeflateCompressor.Create(nil); try ZipWriter.Compressor := cDeflate; ZipWriter.NewZipFile('ZipFile.zip'); ZipWriter.BaseFolder := 'FolderWithFiles'; FileFinder := TDIWildFileFinder.Create(nil); try FileFinder.SearchFolder := 'FolderWithFiles'; FileFinder.Recurse := True; FileFinder.MatchType := mtSimpleName; FileFinder.ExcludeFilters.InsertNameLast('*.exe'); while FileFinder.Next do begin ZipWriter.AddFile(FileFinder.FullName); end; ZipWriter.CloseZip; finally FileFinder.Free; end; finally cDeflate.Free; end; finally ZipWriter.Free; end; end; Ralf _______________________________________________ Delphi Inspiration mailing list yunqa@xxxxxxxxxxxxx //www.freelists.org/list/yunqa
