Bzip2 Component [IP*Works! ZIP V8]

Properties   Methods   Events   Configuration Settings  

The Bzip2 component implements a bzip2 compressor and decompressor. It is compliant with the bzip2 specification.

NOTE: What follows is a very short description of the component interfaces. For more information, please consult the help files that come with the respective package.

Remarks

The bzip2 file format is typically used only to archive a single file. Accordingly, the operation of the component is simpler than that of the other components.

To compress with the component, set ArchiveFile to the name of the bzip2 file to be created, and FileDecompressedName to the name of the file to be compressed. Finally, invoke Compress. To extract the file, set ArchiveFile to the bzip2 archive and FileDecompressedName to the file where the component should extract. Finally, invoke the Extract or Compress method.

Example (Creating a Bzip2 File)


ZipControl.ArchiveFile = "c:\test.bz2"
ZipControl.FileDecompressedName = "c:\test.txt"
ZipControl.Compress()
Example (Extracting from a Bzip2 File)


ZipControl.ArchiveFile = "c:\test.bz2"
ZipControl.FileDecompressedName = "c:\test.txt"
ZipControl.Extract()

This component is an implementation based on Julian Seward's bzip2 library (http://www.bzip.org).
