Features

Update to dotNet

Because of the nature of the dotNet environment, component user is no longer needed to install half dozen of components.
Most commands in CakUtils2.pas is implemented in Cake3.Utils (e.g. Utils.GetFileName, Utils.SizeInK)

Standard progress and error message

CAKE3 have a list of progress and error messages, and it will return the message when needed. (except messages that is directly returned from the dll)
The list does not support translation at this time, but it can be implemented on demand.

Change Listing method

When listing, an event OnItemList, is called for each file in archive. You can choose to store the filelist inside CAKE3 component, or have your own implementation.
New component : ContentList, which support sorting, is used for filelist, support "for...each" syntax and array. (e.g. Archive_Content[0].fileName)

Relative path

Compression with relative path is fully supported (CAKE2 sometimes require the use of subst command), AddOptions.addFolder have 3 modes (relative, full, none).

Dll version update

The component is designed to work with latest version of the archiver dlls, e.g. sqx20.dll, Sqx version 2 engine.

How to use?

List


Cakdir3 c3 = new Cakdir3(@"c:\temp1\test1.lha");
//Traditional method
for (int32 i = 0; i < c3.Archive_Contents.Count; i++)
{
 ContentType ct = c3.Archive_Contents[i];
 Console.WriteLine(ct.fileName);
}

//Foreach
foreach (ContentType ct in c3.Archive_Contents)
{
 Console.WriteLine(ct.fileName);
}

//Directorylist
//To list Subdirectory in specified directory use GetSubdirectoryList(path)
foreach (string s in c3.Archive_Contents.GetDirectoryList())
{
 Console.WriteLine(s);
}

Sort filelist


c3.Archive_Contents.Sort( ContentType.SortMetric.FileName );

Decompress


Cakdir3 c3 = new Cakdir3(@"c:\temp1\test1.lha");
c3.ExtractOptions.extractItem = new String[1] {c3.Archive_Contents[0].fileName};
c3.ExtractOptions.extractFolder = Utils.GetTempPath() + "qztemp";
c3.ExtractOptions.allowFolder = true;
c3.ExtractOptions.allowOverwrite = true;

if (c3.Extract())
 Console.WriteLine("Success");

Compress


Cakdir3 c3 = new Cakdir3(@"c:\temp1\test1.lha");
c3.AddOptions.addFolder = AddOptions.folderMode.relative;
c3.AddOptions.baseFolder = @"c:\temp1\";
//Mask not supported in current version.
c3.AddOptions.addFile = new String[2] {@"c:\temp1\run.zip", @"C:\temp1\test\Toolbar.bmp"};			
c3.Add();

Delete


Cakdir3 c3 = new Cakdir3(@"c:\temp1\test1.zip");
c3.DeleteOptions.deleteFile = new String[1] { @"\test\Toolbar.bmp"};
