Re: How to pack a proper zip file with Basic

Hi Heiko,

following code works for me to create a new zip archive and add a file

Regards
Oliver

OPTION EXPLICIT

Sub Test()
        
        Dim oZipArchive as Variant
        Dim aArg As New com.sun.star.beans.NamedValue
        Dim SURL as String
        Dim sFile as String
        
        sURL = ConvertToURL("D:\TEMP\")
        oZipArchive = createUnoService("com.sun.star.packages.Package")

    aArg.Name = "PackageFormat"
    aArg.Value = True
    oZipArchive.initialize(Array(sURL & "test.zip", aArg))

        sFile = "test.txt"
        Call AddFiletoZipArchive(oZipArchive, sURL, sFile)

End Sub

Sub AddFiletoZipArchive(oZipArchive as Object, ByVal sUrl as String, ByVal sFile as String)

        On Local Error Goto ErrorHandler

        Dim oSimpleFileAccess as Object
        Dim oInputStream as Object
        Dim oStream as Object
        Dim oPosition as Object
        Dim mArgs(0) as Variant

        mArgs(0) = False

        oStream = oZipArchive.createInstanceWithArguments(mArgs())
        oSimpleFileAccess = CreateUnoService("com.sun.star.ucb.SimpleFileAccess")
        oInputStream = oSimpleFileAccess.openFileRead(sURL & sFile)
        oStream.setInputStream(oInputStream)

        oPosition = oZipArchive.getByHierarchicalName("")
        oPosition.insertByName(sFile, oStream)
        oZipArchive.commitChanges()
        oInputStream.closeInput()

        Exit Sub
ErrorHandler:
        MsgBox Err() & " - " & Error() & " - Row: " & Erl()
End Sub
