See more Gzip Examples

Demonstrates how to extract the contents of a GZip compressed Tar archive (.tgz or .tar.gz). VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

' This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Dim gzip As New Chilkat.Gzip

' Ungzip and untar.
Dim bNoAbsolute As Boolean = True
Dim untarToDirectory As String
untarToDirectory = "/temp/test"
' bNoAbsolute tells the component to convert all absolute paths
' found in the .tar to relative paths.   For example, if the .tar
' contains a file with an absolute path such as
' "/usr/bin/something.exe" it will
' be extracted to "/temp/test/usr/bin/something.exe"
success = gzip.UnTarGz("test.tar.gz",untarToDirectory,bNoAbsolute)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(gzip.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
