I'm trying to zip a certain large number of files by creating an array of them. Then I tried to run the zip command but met with "Argument list too long" error.



declare -a arr=() 

fixed=5
for i in `seq 10 1 200`; do
for j in `seq $((i+fixed)) 1 200`; do
arr+=("$i_$j.xxx")
done
done

new_arr=$(printf ",%s" "$arr[@]")
new_arr=$new_arr:1

zip all_data.zip $new_arr

          extract from man zip ( linux version )



           zip -@ foo
          will store the files listed one per line on stdin in foo.zip.


          example from the same man page



           find . -name "*.[ch]" -print | zip source -@


          So steps will be :



          1. build a list off all files to be archive , format must one file name by line



          2. run zip command
