Hi There,
I am facing some issues while zipping files in particular directory through power shell.
I am getting the error message:-
==========================================================
Exception calling "CreateFromDirectory" with "4" argument(s): "Could not find a part of the path 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\2018-02-13'."
At line:32 char:1
+ [System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::CreateFromDirectory($tempFinalFolder,$ZipTo, $C ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : NotSpecified: (:) [], MethodInvocationException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DirectoryNotFoundException
===================================================
Below is my code-
#get the list of files
$here = (Get-Item -Path ".\" -Verbose).FullName
$tempVariable = $here
$files_to_zip = Get-ChildItem -Path $here
#create a temporary folder using today's date
$tempFolder = $here
$tempFinalFolder = "$tempFolder_$Today"
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $tempFinalFolder -Force
#decide how long back to go
$timespan = new-timespan -days 1
#move the files to a temporary location
foreach($file in $files_to_zip)
{
$fileLastModifieddate = $file.LastWriteTime
if(((Get-Date) - $fileLastModifiedDate) -gt $timespan)
{
Move-Item "$here\$file" -destination $tempFinalFolder
}
}
$CompressionToUse = [System.IO.Compression.CompressionLevel]::Optimal
$IncludeBaseFolder = $false
$zipTo = "{0}\Archive_{1}.zip" -f $here,$Today
#add the files in the temporary location to a zip folder
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName( "System.IO.Compression.FileSystem" )
[System.IO.Compression.ZipFile]::CreateFromDirectory($tempFinalFolder,$ZipTo, $CompressionToUse, $IncludeBaseFolder)
#Remove-Item $tempFinalFolder -RECURSE
I am not sure why its looking into to C:\WINDOWS\system32 .I am using current directory in
$here
