I’ve mentioned a number of libraries for working with the most common file compression formats in a previous post a couple of years ago.
Here’s a library that puts many open source archiving libraries altogether in a single API with a library called SARUnArchiveANY submitted by Saravanan.
SARUnArchiveANY provides a clean syntax with a blocks based syntax for easily easily unarchiving .zip, .rar, and .7z files.
Here’s a syntax example from the readme:
SARUnArchiveANY *unarchive = [[SARUnArchiveANY alloc]initWithPath:filePath];
unarchive.destinationPath = destPath;//(Optional). If it is not given, then the file is unarchived in the same location of its archive file.
unarchive.completionBlock = ^(NSArray *filePaths){
NSLog(@"For Archive : %@",filePath);
for (NSString *filename in filePaths) {
NSLog(@"File: %@", filename);
}
};
unarchive.failureBlock = ^(){
NSLog(@"Cannot be unarchived");
};
[unarchive decompress];
unarchive.destinationPath = destPath;//(Optional). If it is not given, then the file is unarchived in the same location of its archive file.
unarchive.completionBlock = ^(NSArray *filePaths){
NSLog(@"For Archive : %@",filePath);
for (NSString *filename in filePaths) {
NSLog(@"File: %@", filename);
}
};
unarchive.failureBlock = ^(){
NSLog(@"Cannot be unarchived");
};
[unarchive decompress];
You can find SARUnArchiveANY on Github here.
A very clean way to handle unarchiving multiple file formats.
