paszlib is a Pascal conversion of the standard zlib library: you don't need any external dependencies. It was implemented by Jacques Nomssi Nzali (his old homepage is dead, see a continuation of the project here). It is used in the FCL to implement the TCompressionStream class.

This class lets you compress and decompress .zip files.

The main unit of this package is paszlib. There are other, auxiliary units, but the only unit that needs to be included in a typical program is this one.

TZipper

TZipper implements support for compressing and decompressing .zip files, but does not support all zip compression methods.

Examples

Zip files

Create a zip file named as parameter 1. Treats all other parameters as filenames to add, so you can specify e.g.

zipper newzip.zip autoexec.bat config.sys
uses
  Zipper;
var
  OurZipper: TZipper;
  I: Integer;
begin
  OurZipper := TZipper.Create;
  try
    OurZipper.FileName := ParamStr(1);
    for I := 2 to ParamCount do
      OurZipper.Entries.AddFileEntry(ParamStr(I), ParamStr(I));
    OurZipper.ZipAllFiles;
  finally
    OurZipper.Free;
  end;
end.

Unzip files

Unzip all files in archive c:\test.zip into directory c:\windows\temp\

uses
  Zipper;
var
  UnZipper: TUnZipper;
begin
  UnZipper := TUnZipper.Create;
  try    
    UnZipper.FileName := 'c:\test.zip';
    UnZipper.OutputPath := 'c:\windows\temp';
    UnZipper.Examine;
    UnZipper.UnZipAllFiles;
  finally
    UnZipper.Free;
  end;
end.

Zip files with encoding filenames

For some contry you need change names of file.

uses
  Zipper, LConvEncoding;

function PackFiles(Filename, DirectoryPath: String): Integer;
var
  OurZipper :TZipper;
  flist     :TStringList;
  I         :Integer;
  ADiskFileName,
  AArchiveFileName :String;
begin
  result:=-1;
  DirectoryPath:=includeTrailingPathDelimiter(DirectoryPath);
  if DirectoryExists(DirectoryPath) then
  begin
     OurZipper := TZipper.Create;
     flist     := TStringList.create;
     try
        OurZipper.FileName := Filename;
        MyGetFileFunction(DirectoryPath,flist);//get files from directory
        for I := 0 to flist.Count-1 do
        begin
             ADiskFileName:=flist.Strings[i];
             AArchiveFileName:=StringReplace(flist.Strings[i],DirectoryPath,'',[rfReplaceall]);
             AArchiveFileName:=SysToUTF8(AArchiveFileName);
             AArchiveFileName:=UTF8ToCP866(AArchiveFileName);
             OurZipper.Entries.AddFileEntry(ADiskFileName,AArchiveFileName);
        end;
        OurZipper.ZipAllFiles;
        result:=1;
     finally
            OurZipper.Free;
            flist.Free;
     end;
  end;
end;

Unzip files with encoding filenames

uses
  Zipper, LConvEncoding;
function UnPackFiles(Filename, UnPackPath: String): Integer;
var
  UnZipper: TUnZipper;
  UnPackFileDir,
  ADiskFileName,
  ANewDiskFileName,
  AArchiveFileName :String;
  i:integer;
begin
  result:=-1;
  if FileExists(Filename)and DirectoryExists(UnPackPath) then
  begin
       UnPackFileDir:=SysUtils.IncludeTrailingPathDelimiter(UnPackPath);
       UnZipper := TUnZipper.Create;
       try
          UnZipper.FileName := Filename;
          UnZipper.OutputPath := UnPackPath;
          UnZipper.Examine;
          UnZipper.UnZipAllFiles;
          for i:=0 to UnZipper.Entries.Count-1 do
          begin
              AArchiveFileName:=UnZipper.Entries.Entries[i].ArchiveFileName;
              AArchiveFileName:=CP866ToUTF8(AArchiveFileName);
              AArchiveFileName:=UTF8ToSys(AArchiveFileName);
              ANewDiskFileName:=UnPackFileDir+AArchiveFileName;
              ADiskFileName:=UnPackFileDir+UnZipper.Entries.Entries[i].DiskFileName;
              if FileExists(ADiskFileName) then
              RenameFile(ADiskFileName,ANewDiskFileName);
          end;
          result:=1;
       finally
          UnZipper.Free;
       end;
  end;
end;

Unzip file to a stream

In Lazarus, drop a TMemo, TButton, TEdit and TFileNameEdit on a form. Clicking the button will read the zip file in FileNameEdit, extract the file specified in the Edit box, and display the content in Memo.

uses
  Zipper;

...

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
begin
  ExtractFileFromZip(FileNameEdit1.FileName,Edit1.Text);
end;

procedure TForm1.DoCreateOutZipStream(Sender: TObject; var AStream: TStream;
  AItem: TFullZipFileEntry);
begin
  AStream:=TMemorystream.Create;
end;

procedure TForm1.DoDoneOutZipStream(Sender: TObject; var AStream: TStream;
  AItem: TFullZipFileEntry);
begin
  AStream.Position:=0;
  Memo1.lines.LoadFromStream(Astream);
  Astream.Free;
end;

procedure TForm1.ExtractFileFromZip(ZipName, FileName: string);
var
  ZipFile: TUnZipper;
  sl:TStringList;
begin
  sl:=TStringList.Create;
  sl.Add(FileName);
  ZipFile := TUnZipper.Create;
  try
    ZipFile.FileName := ZipName;
    ZipFile.OnCreateStream := @DoCreateOutZipStream;
    ZipFile.OnDoneStream:=@DoDoneOutZipStream;
    ZipFile.UnZipFiles(sl);
  finally
    ZipFile.Free;
    sl.Free;
  end;
end;

Zipping a whole directory tree

  • This will recursively add the contents of 'C:\MyFolder' to the 'myzipfile.zip'
    • Note that the absolute path is stored in the zipfile
    • Note that this requires the Lazarus fileutil unit (which you can probably work around)
Uses ...Zipper,FileUtil
var
  AZipper: TZipper;
  TheFileList:TStringList;
begin
  MyDirectory:='C:\MyFolder';
  AZipper := TZipper.Create;
  AZipper.Filename := 'myzipfile.zip';
  TheFileList:=TstringList.Create;
  try
    TheFileList:=FindAllFiles(MyDirectory);
    AZipper.Entries.AddFileEntries(TheFileList);
    AZipper.ZipAllFiles;
  finally
    TheFileList.Free;
    AZipper.Free;
  end;
end;

Zipping a whole directory tree storing only a relative path

  • This is more complicated, but it can be done
    • Note that this requires the Lazarus fileutil unit (which you can probably work around)
Uses ...Zipper,FileUtil,strutils
var
  AZipper: TZipper;
  szPathEntry:String;
  i:Integer;
  ZEntries : TZipFileEntries;
  TheFileList:TStringList;
  RelativeDirectory:String;
begin
  AZipper := TZipper.Create;
  try
    try
      AZipper.Filename := 'myzipfile.zip';
      RelativeDirectory:='C:\MyFolder\MyFolder\';
      AZipper.Clear;
      ZEntries := TZipFileEntries.Create(TZipFileEntry);
      // Verify valid directory
      If DirPathExists(RelativeDirectory) then
      begin
        // Construct the path to the directory BELOW RelativeDirectory
        // If user specifies 'C:\MyFolder\Subfolder' it returns 'C:\MyFolder\'
        // If user specifies 'C:\MyFolder' it returns 'C:\'
        // If user specifies 'C:\' it returns 'C:\'
        i:=RPos(PathDelim,ChompPathDelim(RelativeDirectory));
        szPathEntry:=LeftStr(RelativeDirectory,i);

        // Use the FileUtils.FindAllFiles function to get everything (files and folders) recursively
        TheFileList:=TstringList.Create;
        try
          TheFileList:=FindAllFiles(RelativeDirectory);
          for i:=0 to TheFileList.Count -1 do
          begin
            // Make sure the RelativeDirectory files are not in the root of the ZipFile
            ZEntries.AddFileEntry(TheFileList[i],CreateRelativePath(TheFileList[i],szPathEntry));
          end;
        finally
          TheFileList.Free;
        end;
      end;
      if (ZEntries.Count > 0) then
        AZipper.ZipFiles(ZEntries);
      except
        On E: EZipError do
          E.CreateFmt('Zipfile could not be created%sReason: %s', [LineEnding, E.Message])
      end;
    result := True;
  finally
    FreeAndNil(ZEntries);
    AZipper.Free;
  end;  
end;
