PureBasic Forums - English

I thought I saw this once, but after searching the forums I haven't been able to find it. What I'm looking for is sample code that will let you let you extract a file (by name) from a zip into memory. The only thing I've been able to find, however, code to use wrappers that use gzip instead of actual code that uses gzip directly. I would have sworn I saw it here in the linux forums, but searching for "zip" turns up nothing and searching for "gzip" doesn't turn up much. I'm sure someone has this sitting on their harddrive and I would love to see it.

gzip

extract a file (by name) from a zip into memory

Zip or gzip? You know gzip can't contain multiple files, right? So you can't extract "one of the files" in it, as there is only one (usually a tar file, which can contain multiple files, but offers no compression on its own).

...you might be thinking of PureZip, but I think that is Windows only.....

You can use RunProgram() to call gzip and with the right parameters it will output to a pipe which can be read with ReadProgramData().

I guess I didn't see it here then. I didn't figure it was going to be that easy. Looks like I have some research to do. Thank for the pointers guys.
