I'm using ObjectiveZip library (which is a wrapper for MiniZip) in my iOS app. My app sends .zip archives to server, where they are processed manually by moderator. Here's my code for creating an archive:
NSString * zipfile = [Result zipfilePathWithResult:self];
ZipFile * zf = [[ZipFile alloc] initWithFileName:zipfile mode:ZipFileModeCreate];
ZipWriteStream * zws = [zf writeFileInZipWithName:#"report.xml" compressionLevel:ZipCompressionLevelNone];
[zws writeData:[xml dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[zws finishedWriting];
for (NSString * name in mediaFiles)
{
ZipWriteStream * zws = [zf writeFileInZipWithName:name compressionLevel:ZipCompressionLevelNone];
[zws writeData:[files objectForKey:name]];
[zws finishedWriting];
}
[zf close];
Unfortunately, these archives aren't correctly processed by default OS X ArchiveUtility: it always unarchives my files into zip.cpgz, regardless of the actual content of archive (usually it's a .xml file and a few .jpg files).
However, some other applications on OS X and also on Windows are able to open my archives correctly, so the archive isn't actually broken.
Is there a way to make ObjectiveZip work with ArchiveUtility? Or maybe you can suggest any other objective-c library for creating .zip files which can do it. Thanks in advance!
Edit zip.c changing the parameters passed into each calls to zipOpenNewFileInZip3_64. The last parameter being passed into each method is a 1. Change it to a 0 and it will work
Changing the last parameter to zipOpenNewFileInZipX_64 function is one way to fix this but changing this parameter to 0 means setting zip64, i.e large file zipping capability, to false.
I was able to fix this by setting second parameter of zip64local_putValue call to (uLong)20(which is currently 45 in one case) inside the function Write_LocalFileHeader regardless of value of zi->ci.zip64.

I'm trying to port an existing Android application to iOS,
In the Android application i was using a ZipInputStream to extract a single file from the zip archive and store it in as a temporary file.
How could i extract a single file from a Zip Archive without having to extract the whole archive (As it is very large)?
I just found the answer,
I had to modify SSZipArchive to insert a method that will extract a single file from the ZIP archive (Based on its name)
You could find the modified version here, if someone finds this useful i might clean it up, add the delegate, the tests and propose for pull in SSZipArchive.
Usage is straightforward:
NSString *zipEntityToExtract = #"example.aac";
NSString *destinationFilePath = ...; //(Includes filename)
NSString *zipPath = ...;
[SSZipArchive unzipEntityName:zipEntityToExtract fromFilePath:zipPath toDestination:filePath];
//File is now in destinationFilePath

I just want to create a file with the data of unzipped file in iOS.
I am using the Objective-Zip library, and I can zip files rightly.
Now, I am trying to extract the files of this zip file.
ZipFile *unzipFile= [[ZipFile alloc] initWithFileName:filePath mode:ZipFileModeUnzip];
//Checking files inside zip
NSArray *infos= [unzipFile listFileInZipInfos];
for (FileInZipInfo *info in infos)
NSLog(#"Test 1: - %# %# %d (%d)", info.name, info.date, info.size, info.level);
[unzipFile goToFirstFileInZip];
ZipReadStream *read= [unzipFile readCurrentFileInZipWithPassword:password];
How I can pass the ZipReadStream to a NSData object? Then I would convert NSData to the right file, is not?
Thanks in advance.
Sorry, it seems to be duplicate: unzip NSData using objective zip
Looking at the headers for the ZipReadStream class, it looks like there is a method readDataOfLength. It appears that you call that method repeatedly until you have all the data from the file. I would expect a method to find out the length of the unzipped file, but did not see such a method from a quick glance.
As a side-note, I've never heard of the Objective-Zip library until a few minutes ago, and I found the 'readDataOfLength:' method in less than a minute. Perhaps you should spend some time looking through the library's header and sample code?
I'm using BlackRaccoon to upload a file within a server.
Prior to upload I'd like to understand if it is possible to check if the file that I upload is present or not!.
Is it possible?
Thank you,
Vincenzo
You could maybe use the List Directory Function
listDir = [[BRRequestListDirectory alloc] initWithDelegate: self];
listDir.path = #"/home/user/newdirectory/";
listDir.hostname = #"192.168.1.100";
listDir.username = #"yourusername";
listDir.password = #"yourpassword";
[listDir start];
then on the received list there is a
- (BOOL)fileExists:(NSString *)fileNamePath;
option.
Pass this the fileName to check whether your file already exists in the Directory.
This is the first time i'm going to parse an XML file with Xcode and it differs a bit from what I'm used to...
I read these 2 docs :
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/XMLParsing/Articles/UsingParser.html
http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/XMLParsing/Articles/HandlingElements.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20002265-BCIJFGJI
I understand what's going on... But I still got one question. How can I do to parse an XML file which is located directly inside the project (I mean, for example in the resource file, where I usually put my images?). They usually show how to get the url of the XML file..But it's not the case here. It's going to be loaded directly on the iPad, among images and everything...
You Simply have to give the path of a local file :-
NSString *myFile= [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:#"youFile.xml"];
NSURL *xmlFile = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:myFile];
NSXMLParser *parser= [[NSXMLParser alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:xmlFile];
This is just an example implement your own login , use above two lines to get the path of local file.
