For all those that have been wanting to use zip files from Pure basic, run over to my site, and grab the PBZip library....
http://spangly.purebasic.org/
It's early beta and can only extract files at the moment.[/url]

Sorry, the extraction completed ok but the ZipClose() seems to crash !
Under xp pro, never ended loop !
Thank's for your work.

Does it work OK if you comment out the ZipClose() function?
the code is a bit experimental, it will improve with time.

Hi spangly,
thanks a lot for your lib.
I tested it under Win98 SE and all update and your exemple works fine with a zip file. Correctly extracted. I will compare your extracted files with winzip extracted files and i give you the result.
Thanks again.
Denis

yes it will lose some resources, I just needed to know if it was the ZipClose() function that caused the crash, does it do it for all zip files, contact me through ICQ or E-Mail and I'll try and sort the problem out

Spangly,
i have compared extracted files with your lib with those extracted by winzip for about 10 files inside zip file,
and all are the same, no problems under WIN98 SE.
Nice work
Denis

In fact after testing i feel that the prob occur only when the zip contain only one file !
I tryed with a multi-files zip and it's ok...
Hope it will help !

Just zipped over 350Mb into a backup file...
I tested the extraction with your code was very very fast!

It's a good job I didn't go with my first idea of loading the whole zip into memory before parsing it

New version posted to my site, fixes the single file in zip problem and adds 2 new functions
ZipFindFile
ZipExtractFileName

Neat, how about a list function

by spangly
how would you want a list function to work?
You can already make a list of files, using a For : Next loop and ZipGetFileName(filenumber)
