Syntax

<Result>: Boolean

False if the archive is a single-part archive.

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

the name of an archive, defined by zipOpen or zipCreate.

New in version 15

Remarks

Use conditions

The archive type can be found only if the archive exists (an archive is created by zipCreate).
This function is available for the archives in WDZ, ZIP and 7z format.

Reminder:

Only the archives in ZIP, TAR and TGZ (TAR.GZ) format are available.
Only ZIP archives are available.

Actions that can be performed on a multi-part archive

Some archiving functions can only be used on the single-part archives (add and delete files, create a self-extracting executable, etc.). To perform these operations, simply group the sub-archives (zipMerge) to obtain a single-part archive.

From a multi-part archive, you only have the ability to:

Merge the different parts (zipMerge).
Get information about the archive and the files in the archive (zipExtractPath, zipInfoFile, zipListFile, etc.).
Extract the files (zipExtractFile, zipExtractAll).

Actions that can be performed on a single-part active

All archiving functions can be used on single-part archives, except zipMerge (used to group the different parts of an archive together).
