Windows Zip

Hi

Is it possible to use the windows zip function on the command line

I want to incorporate this into my program. I know there is an add on for win zip but was wondering if its possible to do with the windows own version...

Cheers

    Ok cheers for the post

    Is there any documentation you would recommend a look at....


  • Victor DelPrete

    Ok...do you think it would be possible to incorporate this into a perl script

    Strange question for this forum...

    Have a look at the cabarc sdk

    Hmm... I tried to access ZIP folders using COM, but my VS2005 simply can't open it in Object Browser...

    Perhabs you can do this by writing some helper application (I'm not familiar with Perl) and call it from script...

    Hi!

    You mean using Compressed Folders I think it's possible if use Shell API, because Compressed Folders incorporated into Windows shell.

    I tried to play with this http://www.rondebruin.nl/windowsxpzip.htm once, but never could make it work in either JScript or VBScript besides listing the ZIP archive's content.

    I've seen code opening ZIP archives and accessing "files" using the SharpZipLib in .NET 1.1.

    Hard to say, may be Windows Shell API can help.

    Yes, you right System.IO.Compression have compressor/decompressor classes. But the question was about Windows Compressed Folders engine.

    I am not sure, but i think that compressing is a new feature of .net 2.0. But i am not sure about that
