Re: How to read the contents of a zip file without unzipping it?

Thanks Folks, if I run the jar in batch it doesn't go to an outfile or qprint, is that possible?

These can be run via QShell, and are alternatives (you only need one of
hem, not all of them)
With JAR:
jar -t httpapi.zip
With AJAR:
ajar -l httpapi.zip
With Info-Zip:
unzip -l httpapi.zip
With 7-Zip
7z l httpapi.zip
The last two (InfoZip/7-Zip) are not included with the system, but can
e installed for free in PASE. These last two options run the fastest,
y far, on my system. The 'jar' tool runs very, very slowly, on my
ystem (to the point where I find it nearly unusable)
These are run via the QShell interface, and can be run from a program
nd output to a file if desired. (You could then read the file to read
he contents into a program.)
You could also run them with my (open source) UNIXCMD tool to make it
asy to read into a program without any need for a temporary file.
