It works, retry and if you have still problems PM me and I'll send it to you by email if you like.

this is some test? so many files... how i can unpack files from BZIP2 type?


or even case is worth...

first i need to add two symbols to this file for change signature:
h91AY&SYж to BZh91AY&SYж

than it can unpack, but inside second file, i must to do same thing - change signature.

than read this unpacked xml file (all this make inside memory, without temp files)

than export to exel... i am almost hanged


so i want to do this and... how to unpack BZIP2? add 2 symbolsi think will be easy... so first just unpack?

read xml and export to exel i done, but i am still don't know how to unpack? as i understand this code work with special pak: one files - one pak, but in my case inside pak a few files. how to unpack in this case?

i found some GnuWin32 programm, and i try to use bunzip2.exe for unpack and see what happen - it unpack, but all files mix inside one... so i am still stuck.

I'm gonna go with "how can anyone know?" specifically, to which link are you referring?

up: as i found - this is tar.bz2 format and it must be unpack by two different programs.
first unpack this file use bz2, than tar? have PB this tar and bz2 user library?

@seregaz, what you are asking has not much to do with the code posted here.

These are simply the algorithms to pack/unpack memory buffers, there is no file system and/or archive support whatsoever. They are meant to build up your own file format (if needed) on top of them.

About your file, yes, tar-zipped files are common and you are correct it's a dual stage compression, or better... one archiver (tar) + one compressor (gzip or bzip).

Searching in the forum I found these two posts:

Some info on the tar format (it's very simple) -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tar_%28computing%29

Better to continue there or in coding questions
