ZipExtractFile Function

Overview

The ZipExtractFile function extracts an entry from a Zip Object to a specified file location or object.

Syntax/Parameters

Syntax

int = ZipExtractFile ( handle hZip, int index | string name,
                   handle hExtract | string filename );

Parameters

hZip

A handle for a Zip Object created with the ZipOpen function.

index

An int specifying the zero-based entry within the Zip Object. Or,

name

A string specifying an entry name. The direction of the slashes is not important.

hExtract

A handle to a Basic File or Pool Object. Or,

filename

A string containing a fully qualified filename and path.

Return Value

Returns an int as ERROR_NONE or a formatted error code on failure.

Remarks

The ZipExtractFile function only supports store and deflate modes (codes 0 and 8). Any other modes will result in the function returning the error ERROR_FUNCTION_NOT_SUPPORTED.

If the hExtract object points to a file, it must have write permission. When writing to a String Pool Object, the entire contents of the pool are replaced with the extracted data. If the file data is binary, the pool text functions will have little utility. When extracting to a filename, an existing file will be overwritten without notice.

This function can seize the script thread for a long period of time if the file to be extracted is large.
