I need to create a compacted file (zip, gzip, bzip or tar.gz) with
some files inside it from a Lua script on Windows. I look for LuaZip,
but it does not create zip files, only read them.
What is the best solution for my need?
The LuaPlus module vdrive does this very well. Find it at
svn://svn.luaplus.org/LuaPlus/work51/Src/Modules/vdrive.
Unfortunately, it currently uses LuaPlus APIs and is not directly
compatible with lua-5.1.dll. However, it shouldn't take too long to
just use the Lua APIs.
It supports zip file creation, file erasing/renaming/insertion, and
even lists of files provided to the ProcessFileList() function which,
in turn, creates a zip with the files in the order specified. It also
supports encryption, although the encryption is not compatible with
Winzip.
