I am sure other tools use zip or something comparable internally, which is why I asked in the first place -- the OP already has made up his mind; I merely wanted to provide additional information for others. Since it's very closely related to the question and your answer, my comments belong here. Thanks for the hint with ?; will have to figure out how to unexclude Icons, but it's a start.

ls says Icon?, but I think it's ASCII 0x0A at the end. If you have an OS X system, copy & paste an icon from one file info dialog to another (select the icon on the top left and Cmd-C, then on a folder info dialog the same with Cmd-V). Then the file is created within the folder.

| Oct 12, 2010 at 17:42 | comment | added | Daniel Beck♦ | How do you exclude the Icon-files OSX creates for custom folder icons? They have a newline or something like that at the end of the filename. | |

Use the -x argument twice: zip -r foo.zip foo -x *.DS_Store -x *.svn*

| Oct 12, 2010 at 14:10 | comment | added | danixd | This is perfect thanks. Out of interest, how would I exclude multi path endings? Something like zip -r foo.zip foo -x "*.DS_Store, *.svn" ? | |
