Using Zip Writer snap without file structure

I am trying to use a Zip Writer snap zip a .txt file to become .zip file. So if my txt file location is /intshare/test/watermarkout//test.txt, when I zip it, the folder structure comes with the zip...

Use a mapper with binary output before ZipFile writer snap and map the content-location of your file:
$[‘content-location’].substr($[‘content-location’].lastIndexOf(“/”) + 1) ----> $[‘content-location’]

Then in the zip file write, just enter the filename of the archive folder

    @j.angelevski So I did tried this and it looks like it zipped all the files together in 1 zip file.
    Is there a way to have each input file its own zip file?

    For example, my input are test1.txt and test2.txt. I like to be able to produce 2 zip files. test1.zip and test2.zip.

    Thanks
