How to decompress and display packed (zip) text file within ASP ?

[umberto]

Hello,
I know that I can process txt files using ASP scrips.
But there is a compressed text file (with Winzip) that I want to list on my
web page. Is there possibility to decompress it on server and process there
useing my ASP script ?
I should say that it is not my server, I am just using hosting provider so I
can't execute programs on the server directly.

Best greetings,
R.A.

Hi Umberto,

There's a managed ZIP library and it was free this summer (not sure about
now):

Thanks Dmitriy !
I am just looking at it. There is dll file and a 'bat' file to instal it.
The instal script uses 'gacutil' - I am not sure what it is (I am beginner),
but hope to find out.
Anyway I don't know if my ASP hosting provider (where I put my ASP scripts -
I have no my own server) will let me run this install procedure.

Hi,

Don't be scary of the installation - it just puts the library to the Global
Assembly Cache to make it available to any .NET program on the computer. But
this is not necessary - you can just put the ZIP library to the website's
bin directory - at least it worked fine for a Windows Forms application I
took part in.

Thanks once more. Your info makes me happy
I will try to do my plans.
