Zip32.au3 - Can't zip a folder with periods in it?

Good Morning AutoIT Gurus!

First - props to AutoIT and props to you guys

Here is my issue with using the <Zip32.au3>

If my folder name has periods in it, the zip function fails:

 

Script Portion:

$FolderName01 = "Computer_IP_192.168.2.1"

; Example formatting:

; _ZIP_Archive($ZipFile, $DirToZip)

_ZIP_Archive($FolderName01, @ScriptDir & '' & $FolderName01)

 

Console Output:

!> _ZIPPrint: zip I/O error

!> _ZIPPrint: zip error: Could not create output file (Computer_IP_192.168.2.1)

 

Basically this Zip32.au3 can't zip folders with periods in them.

Is this something discovered already?

 

This is my current work around:

$FolderName01 = StringRegExpReplace( $FolderName01, "[.]", "_")

 

Just wondering if there is an update because I love the function Zip32.au3!

Thanks!

Never-mind - I downloaded the 7zip open source command line version and it works great.
