Rebol & Zip

 [1/4] from: andrew::martin::colenso::school::nz at: 4-Aug-2003 15:25


How does one use Rebol to create a .zip file? I'd like to zip together a pile of files, then email them as an attachment. Like: save %File.zip compress read %File.txt send/attach [Rebol--orcon--net--nz] "My .zip files" %File.zip Andrew J Martin Attendance Officer & Information Systems Trouble Shooter Colenso High School Arnold Street, Napier.

As far as I know, no one has written REBOL code to create a standard zip file. One method, if you have Command or Pro and you have a registered copy of Winzip, is to use REBOL to execute WZZIP, the command-line version of WinZip. If you don't have WZZIP, you'll need a freebie equivalent: http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Freeware/Data_Compression/ Or take an afternoon off, and write REBZIP.r! Sunanda.

as Sunanda said I don't think anyone has done this, you would probably want to look at Zlib http://www.gzip.org/zlib/

Even better in this case, use the DLL interface and have a look at the Zlib (http://www.winimage.com/zLibDll/) this one is used in the PNG libs as well. Robert
