zipExtract



Function: ZipExtract()

Extracts the content of a named file from an archive file. Zip files are supported as well as other common archive file types including tar and 7z.

Typically, the archive file will have been fetched via an HTTP action in an Actionflow and the contents of the archive will be provided in the body of that request.

If the filename isn't predefined then zipListFiles can be used to read the available filenames.


Syntax

zipListFiles( zipFile, filename, charset )

ArgumentTypeDescription
zipFileStringThe contents of the archive file
filenameStringThe filename to extract
charsetStringThe charset to use for the resultant file, or binary. Default is null which autodetects the charset from the file

Examples

zipExtract(in.body, 'PackageHeader.xml')

where in.body is the archive body.

This returns the content of the PackageHeader.xml file as a string, autodetecting whether the file is encoded as UTF8, UTF16 or another encoding.
