Author Topic: can you copy png files from a compressed zip to a base folder location?  (Read 1085 times)


discoverFile(ziplocation); fileCopy(pnglocation, newlocation);

Didn't work i can't seem to copy anything out of zip folders

filecopy doesn't work with zipped files
if it's absolutely important to get the file in a folder use a tcp object and download it to some cache folder (do this once) and then it's there for you to copy it

ah I was afraid of this

You can read files in a .zip and you can use images in a .zip for a GUI. So there must be a way to copy files from a .zip.

I was thinking you could use FileObjects to achieve this? By storing the file you are wanting to copy to a cache/variable which then can be written to the new file designation.

Or is that not possible? Surely it is.

you can easily do this for text files, but images won't work because of null characters

Misread the topic. Sorry.
