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
zip
commandcat BIG_FILENAME_LIST.txt | zip thebigziparchive -@
