Argument list too long when zipping large list of certain files in a folder
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}
bash

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 :
build a list off all files to be archive , format must one file name by line
run
zipcommand
cat BIG_FILENAME_LIST.txt | zip thebigziparchive -@
