[SOLVED] Convert ZIP command from windows to unix

Issue

I am trying to recreate a zip command from windows in Unix and facing issues as expected. Windows command is

zip "zipfilename.zip" -j -u -m -g -T -9 "sourcefiledirectory\*20181010.*

On UNIX the pattern *20181010.* is not getting identified and i am getting the message "zip warning: name not matched". Please help in getting over this.

Solution

You have specified the wildcard path in Windows format (i.e. using "\" for the path separator, rather than "/")

"sourcefiledirectory\*20181010.*"

try this instead

"sourcefiledirectory/*20181010.*"
