How to zip directory while excluding files/folder in matlab

I have a directory 

C:/Simulations/Dyno

And Dyno has folders and files lets say

C:/Simulations/Dyno/Folder1    
C:/Simulations/Dyno/Folder2
C:/Simulations/Dyno/foo.txt
C:/Simulations/Dyno/foo2.txt

In Matlab how would I zip the folder Dyno but exclude the folder2 and foo.txt? I want Dyno to be a directory in the zip file and not just folder2 and foo.txt.

You need to specify the full path of all files and folders you want to zip, and pass them as a second argument to Matlab's zip function in the form of a cell array. The base folder is passed as a third argument. The resulting zip file is created in your current folder.

In your example:

filename = 'Dynozip'; %// name of generated zip file
list = {'Dyno\Folder1','Dyno\foo.txt'}; %// files and folders to be included
basefolder = 'C:\Simulations'; %// base folder
zip(filename, list, basefolder)
