I found this code to unzip files:
#include <zlib.h>
#define CHUNK_SIZE 16384 // 16 KB
bool unzipFile(const char* zipFileName, const char* extractFileName) {
// Open the input file (compressed)
std::ifstream inFile(zipFileName, std::ios::binary);
if (!inFile.is_open()) {
std::cerr << "Error: Unable to open input file." << std::endl;
return false;
}
// Open the output file (uncompressed)
std::ofstream outFile(extractFileName, std::ios::binary);
if (!outFile.is_open()) {
std::cerr << "Error: Unable to create output file." << std::endl;
inFile.close();
return false;
}
// Initialize zlib structures
z_stream stream;
stream.zalloc = Z_NULL;
stream.zfree = Z_NULL;
stream.opaque = Z_NULL;
stream.avail_in = 0;
stream.next_in = Z_NULL;
if (inflateInit(&stream) != Z_OK) {
std::cerr << "Error: Failed to initialize zlib." << std::endl;
inFile.close();
outFile.close();
return false;
}
// Uncompress data
unsigned char inBuffer[CHUNK_SIZE];
unsigned char outBuffer[CHUNK_SIZE];
int ret;
do {
inFile.read(reinterpret_cast<char*>(inBuffer), CHUNK_SIZE);
stream.avail_in = inFile.gcount();
stream.next_in = inBuffer;
do {
stream.avail_out = CHUNK_SIZE;
stream.next_out = outBuffer;
ret = inflate(&stream, Z_NO_FLUSH);
switch (ret) {
case Z_NEED_DICT:
case Z_DATA_ERROR:
case Z_MEM_ERROR:
inflateEnd(&stream);
inFile.close();
outFile.close();
return false;
}
outFile.write(reinterpret_cast<char*>(outBuffer), CHUNK_SIZE - stream.avail_out);
} while (stream.avail_out == 0);
} while (ret != Z_STREAM_END);
// Clean up
inflateEnd(&stream);
inFile.close();
outFile.close();
return true;
}
int main()
{
const char* zipFileName = "zip_filename.zip";
const char* extractFileName = "extracted_file.csv";
if (unzipFile(zipFileName, extractFileName)) {
std::cout << "File unzipped successfully." << std::endl;
} else {
std::cerr << "Failed to unzip file." << std::endl;
}
}
But it returns false when trying it. I get "Failed to unzip file." So it comes after the // Uncompress data part, as I don;t get any other error prior to that block.
I am not sure what' wrong here, It's a classic zip file with a csv file in it. I've been stuck without any clue what's wrong. Someone knows the error please?
"zip_filename.zip"is a string literal, aconstarray ofcharof exactly the right size. It implicitly converts to aconst char *, so you can discardconst char* zipFileName = "zip_filename.zip";and directly use it. Eg:if (unzipFile("zip_filename.zip", "extracted_file.csv"))"zip_filename.zip"is also a relative path and thus depends on the Working Directory being exactly where you put the zip file. Make sure you know where the working directory is because we could have a Stack Exchange site just for the questions where the asker thought the working directory was somewhere it wasn't. So the first thing to do is make sure the program is looking in the right spot for the file.retthat'll give you a hint about what happened you can add to the question to make it easier to find for the next person with a similar problem.Failed to unzip fileerror, but there are other messages also being logged when a specific error condition occurs. Are you seeing any of those messages? Do note that there is no error handling being done on theinFile.read()andoutFile.write()calls, and no log message being reported ifinflate()fails, so you should correct those issues.
