zipping files or a folder into a zip file? - haxe

I need to know, how to compress files into a zip file?
I found this beautiful gist, it will unzip a zip file.
I found haxe.zip.Compress but, I didn't find any example about using it, can some please help me in compressing files in haxe?
EDIT
Thanks to answer below, I tried Entry:
var fileInput:FileInput = File.read("myfile.xml");
var bytes:Bytes = Bytes.ofData(File.getBytes("myfile.xml").getData());
var entry:Entry = {
fileName:"myfile.xml",
fileSize:bytes.length,
fileTime:Date.now(),
compressed: false,
dataSize: 0,
data: bytes,
crc32:Crc32.make(bytes)
};
Tools.compress(entry, 1);
But I found that Tools.compress is not implemented for PHP
I tried:
Compress.run(bytes, 1);
I got:
uncaught exception: Not implemented for this platform
Called from haxe.zip.Compress::run
Called from Main::main
Although Compress is mentioned as Available on all platforms
Any idea?

An equivalent complete gist would take me some time (and I would have to make sure that everything is working properly), but the direction you should follow is...
You'll need to create an uncompressed Entry for each file, compress it with haxe.zip.Tools.compress and finally write all entries (List<Entry>) with haxe.zip.Writer.write.

I though that the haxe.zip package only worked for neko target, not sure. If so, you may need the format library.

cv2.VideoCapture directory of images

I though this would be simple, but i have been caught by the simplest of puzzles which i can't find the answer to anywhere,
I have some code which reads images and then OpenCV looks for differences.
I read files with the following command
vs = cv2.VideoCapture("/home/andrew/images/image_%6d.jpg")
and this work perfectly with images called image_000000.jpg image_000001.jpg
However i don't want to rename my images so i would like to read files called
MDAlarm_20180921-031140.jpg whcih contain the date then time.
What is the printf format for this ? as what ever I try it does not work i.e no files found or do the files need to start from 0 , so i need to append an index
starting at 000000?
Lastly once i have this working how can i tell which file is being processed ?
Many Thanks
Andrew

Stream Poco Zip Compression to Poco HTTPServerResponse

I would like to directly compress a directory into a Poco::HTTPServerResponse stream. However, downloading the zip file produced by the following code leads to a corrupt archive. I do know that the below compression approach does work for locally created zip files as I have successfully done that much. What am I missing or is this simply not possible? (Poco v1.6.1)
std::string directory = "/tmp/data";
response.setStatusAndReason(HTTPResponse::HTTPStatus::HTTP_OK);
response.setKeepAlive(true);
response.setContentType("application/zip");
response.set("Content-Disposition","attachment; filename=\"data.zip\"");
Poco::Zip::Compress compress(response.send(),false);
compress.addRecursive(directory,
Poco::Zip::ZipCommon::CompressionMethod::CM_STORE,
Poco::Zip::ZipCommon::CompressionLevel::CL_MAXIMUM,
false, "data");
compress.close();
I use the same technique successfully, with only a slight difference:
The compression method and the compression level (CM and CL).
compress.addFile( cacheFile, Poco::DateTime(), currentFile.GetName(), Poco::Zip::ZipCommon::CM_DEFLATE, Poco::Zip::ZipCommon::CL_SUPERFAST );
A zip file corresponds to the DEFLATE algorithm, so when unzipping, your explorer/archive manager probably doesn't work out.
Either that, or it's pointless to use a MAXIMUM level on a STORE method (STORE non compressing by definition).
EDIT: Just tried it, actually, it's because CM_STORE internally uses headers (probably some kind of tar). Once your files have been added to the zip stream and you close it, Poco tries to order the header, and resets the position of the output stream to the start to write them.
Since it cannont be done on the HTTP output stream (your bytes are already sent!), it fails.
Switching to CM_DEFLATE should fix your problem.

Node js. Writing directory to the archive, without path to this directory

Got some task, it is not hard, but i have some trouble.
Maybe someone already has similar problem.
My task is writing to zip archive some folder, with files and other folders in it with using NodeJS
I try to use AdmZip pakage
folder project structure:
var AdmZip = require('adm-zip');
let Archive = new AdmZip();
Archive.addLocalFolder('Archive/filesFolder', '');
Archive.writeZip('Archive/newArchive.zip);
I must get archive with 'filesFolder', instead i get archive with 'Archive' folder and in it i have 'filesFolder'.
If anybody know, how to record only target folder, and not the sequence of a way folders?
What happens is that you are providing Archive/filesFolder as value to writeZip and that means include in the zip Archive folder and inside that include filesFolder.
For testing purpose change the value of writeZip() to just filesFolder.zip and it should zip content of Archive as filesFolder.zip in current working directory. See below (you can copy/paste the bit of code and run it and it should work).
var zip = new AdmZip();
// I don't know why you provided a second argument to below, I removed it
// There was nothing about it in the documentation.
zip.addLocalFolder('./Archive');
//rename the value of the following to just filesFolder.zip
zip.writeZip('filesFolder.zip');
The above should output the content of Archive to the current working directory as filesFolder.zip
I did mention this in my comment and your commend seem to indicate that you have path issue, so try the above script.

How to copy file in node.js (including modified time)?

I am able to copy a file in node.js using the following:
var readStream = fs.createReadStream(fromFilePath);
readStream.pipe(fs.createWriteStream(toFilePath));
The question is how to also copy/keep the modified time (mtime) like in a regular file copy command.
There are methods in the fs module to access mtime:
var stat = fs.statSync(fromFilePath);
fs.utimesSync(toFilePath, stat.atime, stat.mtime)
Use https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html#fs_fs_copyfile_src_dest_flags_callback .
The documentation does not say it but based on my tests it does keep/set the Modified-time to be the same as in the source-file, at least on Windows-10.
It does set the Created -time to the time the copy was made. But your question is about the modified-time so this is probably the simplest way to get what you want.
BTW. I find it curious that it now seems like the file was modified before it was created. How could that be! But so it seems, at least on Windows 10. I guess that's a good hint for us that the file was copied from somewhere else.

Deal with ZIP-Buffer in node.js

I am building the server part of a webapp, using node.js. This involves getting data from thetvdb.com (API documentation of thetvdb).
The data comes as a zip file. HTTP download is no problem, however, parsing the file is. I actually never save the file, but just keep it in memory, as suggested in How to download and unzip a zip file in memory in NodeJs?
I have a buffer with valid data (same data as when I download the file with browser/curl...). However, adm-zip (I also tired other zip libraries, some suggest invalid zip length) can't open it. It does not show an error, but the zipEntries in the end have length of 0.
When I write out the buffer to the filesystem and open it with gui or cli tools it works.
I can't give a direkt link to the file, as it would involve my API key, however I re-uploaded it here.
I think I might have an answer for you:
Don't rely on npm install. I just ran the example that you linked to with the zip file you provided, and I get an output of "0".
I saw a comment on that other StackOverflow page, saying that the version of adm-zip on npm is not up to date. I grabbed a fresh copy of adm-zip from github, overwrote the one in my node_modules folder and reran the example code and now get the following:
...
<Actor>
<id>237811</id>
<Image>actors/237811.jpg</Image>
<Name>Peter Pratt</Name>
<Role>The Master</Role>
<SortOrder>3</SortOrder>
</Actor>
<Actor>
<id>23780s/237811.jpg</Image>
Give that a shot!
