I'm trying (and failing) to extract a list of files in a zip archive to a pipe or file.
This DOES work as long as the output #channel is to a SCR or CON channel: EW UNZIP,#channel;'-l ram1_test_zip' If #channel is open to a pipe or file, it doesn't work: OPEN_NEW #3,ram1_extract_dat EX UNZIP,#3;'-l ram1_test_zip' CLOSE #3 (the length of file ram1_extract_dat is always 0 after this example, showing the data went somewhere but not to the channel specified). This does seem to work, but it is so long-winded there must be a better and simpler way: 100 REMark send zip listing output to a 10KB pipe 110 OPEN #4,pipe_10240 120 REMark Q_PIPE is a QLiberator command, like CONNECT in Turbo TK 130 Q_PIPE #4 TO #3 : REMark input from same pipe via #3 140 EW win1_exec_unzip,ram1_example_zip,#4;'-Z -1 ram1_example_zip' 150 CLOSE #4 : REMark ensure PIPE gives EOF 160 REPeat loop 170 IF EOF(#3) THEN EXIT loop 180 INPUT #3,t$ 190 PRINT t$ 200 END REPeat loop 210 CLOSE #3 In line 140, my copy of UNZIP is in WIN1_EXEC_ directory. Output of zip file ram1_example_zip is sent to S*BASIC channel #4, which is to a 10KB pipe. The other end of the pipe is open for input via #3. The -Z -1 bit in the quotes is: -z=ZipInfo mode to list information about a zip archive and -1=list filenames only. Not quite sure why example_zip has to be referred to twice, although the first reference is setting up where data is piped from and to by unzip. It certainly only seems to work if referred to both in the EW command and the parameter string. What I'm trying to do is to get a listing of files in a ZIP file without having to see UNZIP appear on the screen. Help! -- Dilwyn Jones -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
