PKZip.ReadZip

Method Signature

 Protected Function ReadZip(ZipFile As FolderItem, ExtractTo As FolderItem, Overwrite As Boolean = False, VerifyCRC As Boolean = True) As FolderItem()

Parameters

Name	Type	Comment
ZipFile	FolderItem	The archive file to read.
ExtractTo	FolderItem	The directory to extract into.
Overwrite	Boolean	Optional. If `True`, existing files in the `ExtractTo` directory will be overwritten.
VerifyCRC	Boolean	Optional. If `True`, the CRC32 checksum of each file will be verified.

Return value

An array of zero or more FolderItems corresponding to the extracted files & directories.

Remarks

This method extracts the specified zip archive into the output directory. The directory structure of the archive is preserved and missing subdirectories of the target directory will be created automatically.

The zip archive format does not forbid having two or more entries with identical names. If Overwrite is False (the default), then an IOException will be raised when a duplicate entry is encountered. If Overwrite is True then no exception is raised and each subsequent duplicate overwrites the previous one. To correctly process an archive with duplicate entries use the ZipReader class.

Example

  Dim src As FolderItem = GetOpenFolderItem("") ' a zip archive file
  Dim dst As FolderItem = SelectFolder() ' the folder to extract into
  Dim list() As FolderItem = PKZip.ReadZip(src, dst)
