zipSelectFile (Function)

In french: zipSélectionFichier

Selects files from an archive. The selected files will be processed by the archive management WLanguage functions..

This makes it possible to select only ".doc" files from an archive, for example. In this case, all the WLanguage functions used to handle the whole archive (e.g., zipExtractAll) will only affect the selected files (".doc" files in our example).

Example

Archive is zipArchive
// Open an archive
IF zipOpen(Archive, "C:\Archives\Archive.zip") = 0 THEN
// Extract documents only
sPreviousSelection is string = zipSelectFile(Archive, "*.doc")
// Extract all documents from the archive
zipExtractAll(Archive, zipDrive)
// Restore previous selection
zipSelectFile(Archive, sPreviousSelection)
END

Syntax

<Result> = zipSelectFile(<Archive> [, <Selection>])

<Result>: Character string

Previous selection applied to the archive.

<Archive>: Character string (with quotes) or zipArchive variable

Name of archive to use.
This name can correspond to:
the name of an archive defined by zipOpen or zipCreate.
the name of a zipArchive variable.

<Selection>: Optional character string

Generic name of the files to be selected.
Generic characters (* and?) are allowed.
If this parameter is not specified or is set to an empty string (""), the selection will be removed and all files will be processed.

Remarks

Principle

After calling zipSelectFile, the next archive management functions that handle all the files in the archive will take the selection into account: these functions will only manipulate the selected files.

To handle all the files in the archive again, simply call zipSelectFile without specifying the <Selection> parameter.

Reminder

Only ZIP, TAR and TGZ (TAR.GZ) archives are available.
Only ZIP archives are available.
CAB archives are not available.
