Extract Zip With C++

[HardHackz]

Is it possible to extract a zip, rar, gzip, tgz, tar, etc. with C++?

Thanks in advance,

If you know the format, sure, why not?

Well, I don't understand how I would do it...I don't know what command
or anything.

1. Read spec for ZIP format.
2. Write program as follows
a. Open zip file
b. Read zip file data
c. Decompress zip file data as specified in spec read in step 1
d. write uncompressed data.

ZIP file format is not discussed in ISO/IEC 14882, and is therefore
beyond the scope of this group, and left as an exercise for the reader.

E.g. for zgip compressed data you need the zlib installed and program it's
API.

Not directly (read: there is no standard function for that). However,
there are cross-platform third-party libraries that can do that for
certain formats, such as zlib.

It's possible to do it yourself, but why bother when others have already
done it for you, http://www.zlib.net/

A lot of C++ programming is like this. Unlike Java or C# which come with
huge libraries of all sorts of stuff built in, C++ programmers rely much
more on third party libraries to get basic stuff done (like reading zip
files).

Hi,

You might want to look into http://www.7-zip.org/
Basically uncompressing/compressing is done by linking to a library or DLL
that already got that functionality (though you could always program it
yourself just for the fun of it of course).
An alternative is the zlib or bzip2 library itself which is quite easy to
use.

Download the sources, create seperate projects compile into static zlib.
Link with any other program. Include de directory in the C++ tab. Include
the library directory in the linker tab add the library itself to the linker
input.

With zlib it as easy as opening a file. Instead of fopen use gzopen instead
of close gzclose. Instead of 'wb' as open parameter for reading you could
use something like 'wb9'. I t won't get any easier :-).

Bzip2 can do the same thing throw everything in a buffer and compress.

Firstly you have to be specific about the compiler you are using and
the platform as its not discussed in ISO C++ draft. But if you have to
do it then use APIs from any good compiler(like VC++) which would the
job for you.
