  • Need advice about zip rar files

    Here's wishing you all a very happy New Year!! Mr Greenhorn is back again! I have a question about zip and rar files. As some of you may remember, this is my first Mac, so I'm used to using the zip/rar programme on my old Windows O/S. Now I receive zip/rar files and can't open them. What is anyone's advice about downloading the zip/rar programme onto my Mac? Any particular pro's and con's? Any particular site to download from? Now my Mac has a compression programme included which converts files to zip files, but is that compatible to the actual zip/rar programme? And finally, where is the advantage to compressing files? Is it only for uploading or is there some benefit to having files 'compressed' on your actual laptop?

    Hi There
    Mac OS X has a built in Archive Utility which doesn't support .rar files. To uncompress rar files you will need a utility like RAR Expander or Stuffit Expander both are free. I suggest doing a search on MacUpdate (http://www.macupdate.com) or VersionTracker (http://www.versiontracker.com) to find a programme that you like.
    I personally don't see any advantage with keeping compressed files on your laptop (unless the archives being used often for emailing, uploading to websites etc). Compressing files does save disk space but if you get to the point where you need to compress your files to gain disk space then I suggest buying an external HD or a bigger internal HD.
    Hope this helps

  • Easy way to unzip zipped files?

    I'm trying to figure out an easy way to unzip zipped files.  I'm using C# in VS 4.5.
    I download this:
    http://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/
    I couldn't get any dlls installed.  I couldn't set any reference to anything.
    I also tried to follow the example here:
    http://www.danderson.me/posts/zipfile-class-system-io-compression-filesystem/
    I can't find anything titled 'System.IO.Compression.dll'.  I set a reference to these two:
    System.IO.Compression.FileSystem
    System.IO.Compression
    That did nothing at all.
    For instance, I think this should work:
    using System;
    using System.IO;
    using System.IO.Compression;
    namespace ConsoleApplication
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    string startPath = @"c:\example\start";
    string zipPath = @"c:\example\result.zip";
    string extractPath = @"c:\example\extract";
    ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(startPath, zipPath);
    ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory(zipPath, extractPath);
    However, i keep getting an error message that says 'The name 'ZipFile' does not exist in the current context'.
    Knowledge is the only thing that I can give you, and still retain, and we are both better off for it.

    Hi
    Please include the below namespace and try it out.
    System.IO.Compression.FileSystem
    The code would be like this.
    using System;
    using System.IO;
    namespace ConsoleApplication
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    string startPath = @"c:\example\start";
    string zipPath = @"c:\example\result.zip";
    string extractPath = @"c:\example\extract";
    System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.CreateFromDirectory(startPath, zipPath);
    System.IO.Compression.ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory(zipPath, extractPath);
    Please note that you need to add a DLL reference to the framework assembly
    System.IO.Compression.FileSystem.dll
    Please let me know in case of any questions you may have around this. Thank you.

  • When I unzip .zip files I get an alias ?

    I've unzipped .zip files for years, but with Lion, unzipping a .zip file (created in Snow Leopard) does not result in a set of files, it results in a set of aliases which do not point to any file when I select "Show Original."
    Any advice appreciated.

    The current version of the built-in Archive Utility has problems with some zip files. Use "The Unarchiver" instead -- free in the App Store.

  • I'm running Firefox 7.0.1 and since the September 30 security update I can no longer unzip zipped files unless I reboot my computer first or run it in Safe Mode. Can anyone help me roll Firefox back to before the update?

    I regularly download zipped files from Survey Monkey. Since the latest security update, the zipped files download to my computer, but when I try and unzip them I get a message telling me the file is in use by another application. If I reboot, I can unzip the file, or if I'm in Safe Mode when I download the file it unzips fine.
    I have tried three different unzip apps and all have the same trouble. Everything was working well after the September 5 update.
    I'm running Windows XP with McAfee antivirus, Spybot, Ad-Aware and Malbytes Anti-malware. All are up to date.

    The URL below is to Adobe's Acrobat update page.
    There you'll find each of the incremental updates to Acrobat 10.
    They must be installed one at a time in sequence. 
      http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows
    Now, if after attempted updates fail then you'll need to speak with your IT Department.
    You need your install of Acrobat 10 updated to dot version 10.1.7.
    Be well...

  • Looking for un-zip/rar software that lets me see the contents of archive and extract single files

    I work with lots of rar and zip archives, and often times i need to view the contents with out extraction, and/or just extract a single file out of a larger archive.  Some archives can be upper of 5gb, extracting the entire archive for 1 10meg file gets tedious.
    I've tried unrarX and the unarchiaver both just instantly start extraction and don't allow me to see the contents of the file.
    WinRar on PC is what i'm trying to emulate, with no success so far.
    Any suggestions?

  • Auto unzip "zipped" files inside OWB. possible?

    Scenario:
    Client will be placing large fixed-delimited files in a directory w/c are in ZIPPED format. This file directory will be my source location.
    Question?
    Is there a way to automate the process of unzipping the files in OWB and placing it in the same directory. I am thinking of using a process flow but I cannot find any utility activity for this. Any suggestions?
    Thanks
    -carlo

    I haven't done it for a while, but I manage to archive files from the workflow via a script.
    In the workflow you have to use the ExternalProcess command.

  • Cannot unzip .zip even with Archive Utility

    Hi,
    I have problem unzipping a .zip file. When I use the Archive Utility to unzip it, it yields a file with the same name with .zip.cpgz on its end. When I subsequently make another trial - to unzip this new file, it yields the very same file only with .zip.cpgz 2 in the end of its name. A repeated process (now with any of these files, either original, first .cpgz or second .cpgz 2) yields a file with appropriate .cpgz #. Repeating the process further seemed to me futile. I hope writing here would in the long run yield an unzipped original .zip file.
    Many thanks for your help,
    pwyll.

    You probably won't see this, but did you ever zip a file during this time and then unzip it with another program and find data missing? The same thing happened to me where I zipped an assignment with archive utility, then when I tried to unzip it it would just make copy after copy. Once it was unzipped by my professior there was missing data. THen when I downloaded another program to unzip the original zipped file, that data was missing, too! I tried it again and zipping the file kep deleting part of my file!

  • How can my program download all-purpose info like nation names, ZIP codes, etc?

    WHAT I HAVE:
    Visual Basic 2010, .NET 4.0, WinForms
    MY PROBLEM:
    I'm writing a VB WinForms app that keeps track of social contacts, and allows users to specify info like their social contact's country and/or ZIP/Postal code. I'd like to know if there are tools that my program can use to download
    lists of nations' names, of valid ZIP/Postal codes, etc.--and which tool is best for the purposes of my programs. What do you recommend?
    Robert Gustafson

    Your first problem is to find a source of the data. A quick search suggested the
    Universal Postal Union website. You would have to try downloading their database and pay around with it to see if it is useful to you.
    Once you have found your data, you will need to decide if it is convenient for your program to download and use at run time, or if you need to download all the data in advance and format it in a way to make it easier for your program to use.

  • How create .ZIP, .RAR file on data export

    Dear All(s)
    On export in want to create .DMP and .RAR,ZIP files, How i can do this in Oracle 10.2.0.1
    EXP full=Y file=d:\abc.dmp
    Thanks in Advance

    For Linux, you can create shell script to export database and after that create .tar file from exported dump
    On Windows, you can create bat file to run export and then zip the dump file automatically
    On my blog, you can see an example of this procedure
