Zipping a .txt file in Qt

[croussou]

Hi there,

I have a simple application in Qt where the user enters data in a text file, which is then saved on desktop. After that I would like to be able to insert the .txt file in a .zip file.

I have tried to use QuaZIP with no success, it seems too complicated to understand.

Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Kind Regards,

croussou

We are using QuaZIP. What is a real problem ?

Can you please give an example zipping a simple text file using QuaZIP?

This method packs list of files :

bool MyPacker::packFiles( QString zip_name, QFileInfoList files )
{
QuaZip( zip_name );
zip.setFileNameCodec("Windows-1250");
if( !zip.open( QuaZip::mdCreate ) )
{
return QString();
}

QFile inFile;
QuaZipFile outFile(&zip);

char c;
int j = 0;

foreach(QFileInfo fileInfo, files)
{
if (!fileInfo.isFile())
continue;

inFile.setFileName( fileInfo.absoluteFilePath() );

if (!inFile.open(QIODevice::ReadOnly))
{
return QString();
}

if (!outFile.open(QIODevice::WriteOnly, QuaZipNewInfo(fileInfo.fileName(), fileInfo.filePath())))
{
return QString();
}

while (inFile.getChar(&c) )
outFile.putChar(c));

if (outFile.getZipError() != ZIP_OK)
{
return false;
}

outFile.close();

if (outFile.getZipError() != ZIP_OK)
{
return false;
}

inFile.close();
}

zip.close();

if (zip.getZipError() != 0)
{
return false;
}

return true;
}
