My requirements: Support .NET Compact Framework 2.0 and Windows Mobile 6.0 devices. Only need to unzip the contents to a directory on a storage card. Creation of zip files is not required. Must be able to use in corporate/commercial software. Can be open source, but not have GPL or other viral license. I've seen the Xceed Zip for CF ...
I have over a million text files compressed into 40 zip files. I also have a list of about 500 model names of phones. I want to find out the number of times a particular model was mentioned in the text files. Is there any python module which can do a regex match on the files without unzipping it. Is there a simple way to solve this pro...
Has anyone found a good compression format for MS Sqlserver databases? If so, what do you use and are you pleased with how it performs? My company frequently will compress a database snapshot from one of our clients and download it so we have a local copy for testing and dev purposes. We tried zip in the past, but once the database fil...
I'd like to write a script/batch that will bunch up my daily IIS logs and zip them up by month. ex080801.log which is in the format of ex*yymmdd*.log ex080801.log - ex080831.log gets zipped up and the log files deleted. The reason we do this is because on a heavy site a log file for one day could be 500mb to 1gb so we zip them up whic...
I'm not going to be too surprised if I get shot-down for asking a "non programming" question, but maybe somebody knows ... I was zipping the contents of my subversion sandbox using WinXP's inbuilt "Send to Compressed (zipped) Folder" capability and was surprised to find that the .zip file created did not contain the .svn directories and...
Is the ZIP compression that is built into Windows XP/Vista/2003/2008 able to be scripted at all? What executable would I have to call from a BAT/CMD file? or is it possible to do it with VBScript? I realize that this is possible using WinZip, 7-Zip and other external applications, but I'm looking for something that requires no external ...
I recently "needed" a zip function in Perl 5 (while I was thinking about How do I calculate relative time?), i.e. a function that takes two lists and "zips" them together to one list, interleaving the elements. (Pseudo)example: @a=(1, 2, 3); @b=('apple', 'orange', 'grape'); zip @a, @b; # (1, 'apple', 2, 'orange', 3, 'grape'); Haskel...
I've read some about .egg files and I've noticed them in my lib directory but what are the advantages/disadvantages of using then as a developer? ...
The most common method for corrupting compressed files is to inadvertently do an ASCII-mode FTP transfer, which causes a many-to-one trashing of CR and/or LF characters. Obviously, there is information loss, and the best way to fix this problem is to transfer again, in FTP binary mode. However, if the original is lost, and it's importa...
I'm trying to create a Zip file from .Net that can be read from Java code. I've used SharpZipLib to create the Zip file but also if the file generated is valid according to the CheckZip function of the #ZipLib library and can be successfully uncompressed via WinZip or WinRar I always get an error when trying to uncompress it using the J...
I need to read selected files, matching on the file name, from a remote zip archive using Python. I don't want to save the full zip to a temporary file (it's not that large, so I can handle everything in memory). I've already written the code and it works, and I'm answering this myself so I can search for it later. But since evidence su...
When compressing a string "stream" the '/r' gets stripped out from '/r/n'. I am using the ICSharp.zip library for compression. Has any one else faced this problem, and if you have is there is a workaround? ...
What is the best way to add non-ASCII file names to a zip file using Java, in such a way that the files can be properly read in both Windows and Linux? Here is one attempt, adapted from https://truezip.dev.java.net/tutorial-6.html#Example, which works in Windows Vista but fails in Ubuntu Hardy. In Hardy the file name is shown as abc-ЖДФ...
On Mac OS X, you can create a zip archive from the Finder by selecting some files and selecting "Compress" from the contextual menu or the File menu. Unfortunately, the resulting file is not identical to the archive created by the zip command (with the default options). This distinction matters to at least one service operated by Apple...
I am looking for a way to create a ZIP file from a folder in Windows C/C++ APIs. I can find the way to do this in VBScript using the Shell32.Application CopyHere method, and I found a tutorial explaining how to do it in C# also, but nothing for the C API (C++ is fine too, project already uses MFC). I'd be really grateful if anyone can s...
I recently learned about the basic structure of the .docx file (it's a specially structured zip archive). However, docx is not formated like a doc. How does a doc file work? What is the file format, structure, etc? ...
I was looking for a sample sql script to zip my database backup file (.bak) and transfer to a remote location. Please share if you have it with you. ...
I'm wanting to execute a program and as it runs read in it's output and pipe out the output into a zipped file. The output of the program can be quite large so the idea is to not hold too much in memory - just to send it to the zip as I get it. ...
Using ant I could unzip an archive before proceeding with the build per-se ... Is this possible using nmake ? Could I call an external application ? Or even a batch script ? ...
I need to zip and password-protect a file. Is there a good (free) library for this? This needs to be opened by a third party, so the password protection needs to work with standard tools. ...
