reading txt file located in zip archives

Question posted by: Looking2Learn (Newbie) on July 2nd, 2008 05:27 PM

Hi,
I'm currently attempting to read a text file that is located in two subsequent zip archives, (ex: archive1.zip/archive2.zip/textfile.txt).

In my looking around the web, I came across perl's "Archive::Zip::MemberRead", but I couldn't find any good tutorials on using it.

Can I use "Archive::Zip::MemberRead" to accomplish what I'd like to do?
If so, could anyone point to some good examples/tutorials, etc?
And if not, could someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks!

Josh

Archive::Zip::MemberRead is the right option for your requirement. You can find some sample scripts along with the download in CPAN.

Great, thanks!

As a follow-up question, in reading through the FAQ for Archive::Zip on CPAN, the author mentioned the "examples" directory
http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/Archive-Zip-1.23/lib/Archive/Zip/FAQ.pod#Sample_code?
But (and I realize this is noobish), being new to the CPAN site, I can't find that directory.
If anyone could provide a link to it, I would appreciate it very much.
Thanks!
