packer

[iancrt]

hi,

Ive been trying to use the packer library to create a single compressed file from multiple files. this part was easy enough.
Now I need to unpack the files were I'm now stuck. 3 questions to start with...
1. Is the original filename stored in the pack file? (if not can it be added)
2. If so how can i return this?
3. The following code compiles but just does not work, what am I missing?

Code: Select all

; unpack test
; iant 2003
OpenConsole()
    If OpenPack("MYPACKEDFILE")
       memloc.l = NextPackFile
       UnpackedFileSize.l = PackFileSize()
       OpenFile(#1,"MYUNPACKEDFILE")
          WriteData(*memloc,UnpackedFileSize)
       CloseFile(#1)
    Else
      PrintN("CRAP, CANT FIND FILE")
    EndIf
CloseConsole()
End

(actually I have just had to re-type this into notepad cos I'm at work and forgot to put the file onto my CVS - so I have no idea if it does compile in this state)
I just seen an old post about RAR examples on RMP - gonna have a look into that as a possible alternative....
..and If filenames are not included I guess I could create my own TOC section prefixed onto the packed file......damn, going to have to stop solving my own questions while writing these posts...

Anyhow, my code problem is still there
Any other comments suggestions very welcome.

1) it lacks the () at the end of NextPackFile
2) *memloc and memloc isn't the same in PB (one is pointer, the other not). Just use memloc, it will work.

I hope it helps..

Thanks Fred,

It took a while but I think I have finally got my head around this * and @ lark. Decided to put the filename before the file as a seperate packed entity.

I have now a working test modules for both packing multiple files (with filenames) and Unpacking again.

Only limitations is they will only work on full dos (8.3) filenames (cos this all what I need it to do - but should be quite easy to make win95 compliant) and I dont advise trying to run it across directories. Some strange things with the way pb console apps handle paths (they keep changing, so you have to set them all at runtime-start-up) for this test I only set WORKINGFOLDER which tells me where the command prompt is.

Code is here, if of use to anyone

or you could tear apart my code.. i simply added a few small text files to my archeves that add the directory structure, as well as filenames.

Hi iancrt,

here are 2 procedures to pack and unpack files with their filenames without Path.

It's an example i was sending on french forum last month, so it's french commented.

The pack will be like this

1st file name, file1, 2nd file name, file2 and so one.

Thanks to Danilo wich show us the way i don't remeber when.
