directory to archive with name includes slash '/'

[tymiao1220]

Hi Developer,

I am wondering is there a way to directory an archive to a name with '/',

var NameWithSlash = 'Folder 1/2'; archive.directory( '/path/to/be/archived', '/des/path/'+NameWithSlash, { date: new Date() });

When I did that now it will automatically recognize '/' in NameWithSlash as a path separator instead of string.

What is the right way to doing so?

Thanks,

I'm not sure I've ever tried using / as part of a filename as I believe there are OS that don't support that like Windows.

Have you confirmed this works in zip or tar outside of archiver? I know theres a few spots in archiver that uses slash detect directory so that would be a hard limit to such with archiver without refactoring of codebase.

Same issue on linux trying to archive a directory whose files names contains backslashes (which are legit on *nix)

Same problem here with macOS

we can replace "/" or "" with ":" Node archiver replace ":" as "/" in string name

Regex for replaceing slashes: fileName.replace(/\|//gm, ':')

Hope this will help

Node archiver replace ":" as "/" in string name

any idea on how to tweak that? having issues with a folder containing : that's being replaced and apparently some Windows users can't extract the archive
