Разбор строк с использованием специальных символов

Этот метод застегивает папку и добавляет все дочерние файлы & amp; папки (включая пустые папки) в zip-файл.

void zipFolder(Path sourceDir, Path targetFile) throws IOException {
    ZipDirectoryVisitor zipVisitor = new ZipDirectoryVisitor(sourceDir);
    Files.walkFileTree(sourceDir, zipVisitor);
    FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(targetFile.toString());
    ZipOutputStream zos = new ZipOutputStream(fos);
    byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
    for (ZipEntry entry : zipVisitor.getZipEntries()) {
        zos.putNextEntry(entry);
        Path curFile = Paths.get(sourceDir.getParent().toString(), entry.toString());
        if (!curFile.toFile().isDirectory()) {
            FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(Paths.get(sourceDir.getParent().toString(), entry.toString()).toString());
            int len;
            while ((len = in.read(buffer)) > 0) {
                zos.write(buffer, 0, len);
            }
            in.close();
        }
        zos.closeEntry();
    }
    zos.close();

}

И вот реализация ZipDirectoryVisitor:

class ZipDirectoryVisitor extends SimpleFileVisitor<Path> {
    private Path dirToZip;
    private List<ZipEntry> zipEntries; // files and folders inside source folder as zip entries
    public ZipDirectoryVisitor(Path dirToZip) throws IOException {
        this.dirToZip = dirToZip;
        zipEntries = new ArrayList<>();
    }

    @Override
    public FileVisitResult visitFile(Path path, BasicFileAttributes basicFileAttributes) throws IOException {
        // According to zip standard backslashes
        // should not be used in zip entries
        String zipFile = dirToZip.getParent().relativize(path).toString().replace("\\", "/");
        ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(zipFile);
        zipEntries.add(entry);
        return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
    }


    @Override
    public FileVisitResult preVisitDirectory(Path path, BasicFileAttributes basicFileAttributes) throws IOException {
        String zipDir = dirToZip.getParent().relativize(path).toString().replace("\\", "/");
        // Zip directory entries should end with a forward slash
        ZipEntry entry = new ZipEntry(zipDir + "/");
        zipEntries.add(entry);
        return FileVisitResult.CONTINUE;
    }


    @Override
    public FileVisitResult visitFileFailed(Path path, IOException e) throws IOException {
        System.err.format("Could not visit file %s while creating a file list from file tree", path);
        return FileVisitResult.TERMINATE;
    }

    public List<ZipEntry> getZipEntries() {
        return zipEntries;
    }
}
