Is there a library that would allow me to unzip a zip file contents to a directory on an iphone.
I want to download a zip file then unpack it to a directory. I’ve seen several examples of using sharpZipLib but not that do the unzipping to a directory – most just show how to get a single file out of the zip. Also the examples do not mention whether or not this is possible on iphone. Is sharpziplib the best solution for this sort of thing?
Okay with the help of phodges I’ve got something that works. First download sharpziplib and take the 2.0 dll and put it in your plugins folder. Then create a cs file and label it zipit.cs and paste the code in below. Put in the plugins folder also. Next make a new empty gameObject and drag the zipit.cs script onto it. Then from unity call…the zipit.Zip function. Where my files are all in a folder called StreamingAssets in the Assets folder. The cs file contains routines for zipping and unzipping single files and folders. The cs code was cut and pasted from different projects such as the one listed above and one here. I’ve tried it and it seems to work in the editor, not sure about iphone yet. These routines require the files to already be in the folders. I really don’t know how to answer questions about the code itself since I’m just a novice C# programmer.

//Unity code which can go in any game object.
zipit.Zip(Application.streamingAssetsPath+“/beach.mp4”,Application.streamingAssetsPath+“/beach.zip”);
Put this in the cs file
