Simple Archiver

This small Groovy class is intended to pack your folders ignoring some files and sub-folders that you will add to exclusion list.

How to use

Below you find a small example of script that will pack entire directory /home/test/ skipping all the possible /.out sub-folders and the file /home/test/readme.txt.

It will produce a zip-file named 2020_02_20_result.zip where the date will be set according to the current date.

import java.text.SimpleDateFormat

SimpleDateFormat dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy_MM_dd")
String targetZipFileName = dateFormat.format(new Date()) + "_result.zip"

SimpleArchiver archiver = new SimpleArchiver(
        "/home/test/",
        "/home/test/" + targetZipFileName)
archiver
        .setOutputFileName(true)
        .exclude("**/.out/**")
        .exclude("/home/test/readme.txt")
        .zip()
