list folders in zip file

[SeanJ]

Hi

I want to list the files and folders inside a zip.

I read one post that suggested extracting everthing to a temp folder and then cleaning.  This is very slow and I only need two small files.

I have also been searching for a suitable dos command. 

Anybody with any ideas on this?

Thanks,

Sean

Hi Sean,

use one of the freely available ZIP command line tools to list the contents of a ZIP file. Using LabVIEW's SystemExec you can get that to parse the list...

Thanks Gerd,

I wanted to avoid having to deploy more tools for installation.  There's PKZIP for DOS and ZIP for cygwin.

Anyway, there is a simpler solution.  Use labVIEW's unzip vi and select preview.

While we are resurrecting old threads, I use 7zip.  I have not tested the command line with the latest update, but it is fast and quite simple.
