VFPCompression Update - Fixes, UNC

Pathing, and Callbacks

VFPCompression FLL
VFPCompression Update

This update contains numerous fixes (unfortunately I didn't keep track, I just fixed anything and
everything anyone mentioned to me). The library now allows the use of UNC paths, and it also
contains a new callback/event feature that allows a user-defined function/procedure/method to be
hooked into the Zip and Unzip routines. In so doing the developer can monitor open, close, and
even the number of bytes being read or written as the zip functions are called (see ZipCallback in
the documentation below).

Here's the customary download link, some sample code for using the new callback feature and the
library in general, and the library documentation...

compression). The default value for this parameter is 6.

Return Value:

Character Data - the compressed version of cString.

Remarks:

This function is particularly useful in a client-server application given that strings of data (such as
memo fields, character fields, and xml) can be compressed before sending them across the network
and then extracted at the other end (using UnzipString).

Function ZipFileQuick()

pass .T. for this parameter. The default value for this parameter is .F. which means that the relative
paths will be respected.

cPassword - The password to use when unzipping the file.

Return Value:

Logical - returns .T. if successful or .F. if the operation has failed.

Remarks:

UnzipTo() is used between calls to UnzipOpen() and UnzipClose(). The functionality of this is similar
to calling UnzipSetFolder() and then Unzip(). The usual series of function calls would consist of
opening the zip file using UnzipOpen, uncompressing files and/or folders using
Unzip/UnzipTo/UnzipByIndex/UnzipFile, and then closing the zip file using UnzipClose.

Function UnzipFile()

Signature: UnzipFile(cOutputFolderName[, lIgnorePaths[, cPassword]])

Parameters:

respected.

cPassword - The password to use when unzipping the file.

Return Value:

Logical - returns .T. if successful or .F. if the operation has failed.

Remarks:

UnzipFile() is used between calls to UnzipOpen() and UnzipClose() to extract the currently selected
file contained in the zip file. UnzipFile() is used in conjunction with the UnzipGotoTopFile,
UnzipGotoNextFile, UnzipGotoFileByName, and UnzipGotoFileByIndex functions. You can think of
the contents of a zip file as records in a table. In this sense UnzipGotoTopFile, UnzipGotoNextFile,
UnzipGotoFileByName, and UnzipGotoFileByIndex functions are used to move the record pointer
and the UnzipFile function is used to extract the file that the record pointer is currently on.

The cPassword is usually the same for all files within a zip, however it does not need to be the
same. Just keep in mind that passwords can be specified for different files within a zip and when
you are unzipping such an archive you will need to change the cPassword accordingly.

Function UnzipByIndex()

Signature: UnzipByIndex(nIndex[, cOutputFolderName[,lIgnorePaths, cPassword]]])

Parameters:

nIndex - The index number of the file to be extracted.

cOutputFolderName - The folder into which the zip file contents should be extracted.

lIgnorePaths - If you wish to ignore the relative path for this file that is contained in the zip file you
would pass .T. for this parameter. The default value for this parameter is .F. which means that the
relative path will be respected.

cPassword - The password to use when unzipping the file.

Return Value:

Logical - returns .T. if successful or .F. if the operation has failed.

Remarks:
UnzipByIndex() is used between calls to UnzipOpen() and UnzipClose() to extract a file by the
position (index) it holds in the zip file. UnzipByIndex() is used in conjunction with the UnzipFileCount
function. You can think of the contents of a zip file as records in a table. In this sense
UnzipFileCount would give you the record count for the table and the UnzipByIndex function be
used to extract a particular file by record number.

The cPassword is usually the same for all files within a zip, however it does not need to be the
same. Just keep in mind that passwords can be specified for different files within a zip and when
you are unzipping such an archive you will need to change the cPassword accordingly.

Function UnzipFileCount()

Signature: UnzipFileCount()

Parameters: None

Return Value:

Logical - returns .T. if successful or .F. if the operation has failed.

Remarks:

UnzipFileCount() is used between calls to UnzipOpen() and UnzipClose() to retrieve the number of
files that are contained in the zip file. It does not actually extract anything. UnzipFileCount() is used
in conjunction with the UnzipByIndex function. You can think of the contents of a zip file as records
in a table. In this sense UnzipFileCount would give you the record count for the table and the
UnzipByIndex function be used to extract a particular file by record number.

Function UnzipSetFolder()

Signature: UnzipSetFolder(cOutputFolderName)

Parameters:

cOutputFolderName - The folder into which the zip file contents should be extracted.

Return Value:

Logical - returns .T. if successful or .F. if the operation has failed.

Remarks:

UnzipSetFolder() is used between calls to UnzipOpen() and UnzipClose() to set the output folder for
extracted zip contents. It does not actually extract anything. The usual series of function calls would
consist of opening the zip file using UnzipOpen, calling UnzipSetFolder to set the output folder,
uncompressing files and/or folders using Unzip/UnzipTo/UnzipByIndex/UnzipFile, and then closing
the zip file using UnzipClose.
Function UnzipGotoTopFile()

Signature: UnzipGotoTopFile([cExtension])

Parameters:

Remarks:

UnzipGotoTopFile() is used between calls to UnzipOpen() and UnzipClose() to select a particular

file in the contents of the open zip file. UnzipGotoTopFile() is used in conjunction with the UnzipFile
function to extract a particular file from the zip. By using the cExtension optional parameter you can
select the first record of a particular file type. You can think of the contents of a zip file as records in
a table. In this sense UnzipGotoTopFile, UnzipGotoNextFile, UnzipGotoFileByName, and
UnzipGotoFileByIndex functions are used to move the record pointer and the UnzipFile function is
used to extract the file that the record pointer is currently on.

Function UnzipGotoNextFile()

this parameter and the relative path of the file will be ignored. The first matching file of the name
specified in cFileName will be selected in the zip contents.

Return Value:

Logical - returns .T. if successful or .F. if the operation has failed.

Remarks:

UnzipGotoFileByName() is used between calls to UnzipOpen() and UnzipClose() to select a

particular file in the contents of the open zip file by file name and/or relative path.
UnzipGotoFileByName() is used in conjunction with the UnzipFile function to extract a particular file
from the open zip file. You can think of the contents of a zip file as records in a table. In this sense

pointer is currently on within the zip file.

Function ZipCallback()

Signature: ZipCallback(cFunction)

Parameters:
cFunction - A string denoting a function, procedure, or method that you want fired whenever a zip
event occurs, such as "MyCallback()".

Return Value: None

Events:

When one of the following zip events occurs the function/procedure/method specified by the
cFunction parameter will be called. cZipObjectName, nZipEvent, and nZipBytes are private
variables created on-the-fly by the FLL. They will contain the values specified in the table below.

Event cZipObjectName nZipEvent nZipBytes

Description (character) (numeric) (numeric)
Zip Opened Name and path of zip file 0 N/A
Zip/Unzip File Name and path of file
1 N/A
Start being zipped/unzipped
Number of bytes
Zip Read or Name and path of file
2 currently being read
Unzip Write being zipped/unzipped
or written
Zip/Unzip File Name and path of file
3 N/A
End being zipped/unzipped
Zip/Unzip Name and path of folder
4 N/A
Folder Opened being zipped/unzipped
Zip Closed Name and path of zip file 5 N/A

Remarks:

Event handling is started as soon as you call ZipCallback and pass it the name of a function,
procedure, or object method. ZipCallback provides a way for you to hook into the internal events
happening inside of the VFPCompression FLL. nZipBytes reports the number of bytes currently
being read during zip (2048 bytes at a time) or written during unzip (4096 bytes at a time) of an
individual file. In order to turn off event handling simply call the ZipCallback with an empty length
string, such as ZipCallback("").
