I have bunch of text file zipped in zif file.
\r\nI wanted to write a routine where every to replace every line starting 8 characters with some input data.I don't wanted to first unzipped copy the file in some folder then change the value and zip it again.Can I change values in the exisiting zipentries\r\n directly?
\r\nIF yes then please let me know how?

Instantiate a ZipInputStream on the existing zipfile. Instantiate a ZipOutputStream on a new zipfile. Iteratively call ZipInputStream.GetNextEntry(), which gives you a readable stream. Call ZipOutputstream.PutNextEntry(). Read that readable stream, and write the modified output to ZipOutputStream.
\nlike this:
\nint n;\r\n var buffer = new byte[2048];\r\n using (var zis = new ZipInputStream(originalZipFile))\r\n {\r\n using (var zos = new ZipOutputStream(modifiedZipFile))\r\n {\r\n ZipEntry e;\r\n while ((e = zis.GetNextEntry()) != null)\r\n {\r\n zos.PutNextEntry(e.FileName);\r\n bool firstTime = true;\r\n while ((n= zis.Read(buffer,0,buffer.Length)) > 0)\r\n {\r\n // edit the first line only.\r\n if (firstTime)\r\n {\r\n // implement your edits here.\r\n // the following is just an example. \r\n buffer[0] = 47; // slash\r\n buffer[1] = 47; // slash\r\n buffer[2] = 32; // space\r\n for (int i=3; i < 8; i++)\r\n buffer[i] = 65; // 'A'\r\n firstTime = false;\r\n }\r\n zos.Write(buffer,0,n);\r\n }\r\n }\r\n }\r\n }\r\n\r\n\n
This does create a 2nd zip file. You will need to delete the original and rename the modified version back to the original name, after completion of this logic.

Thanks Cheeso.I know about the Close and dispose doesn't needed in using block but due to general practice I have put that code which will not effect any thing.
\nCheezo can you please suggest what will i need to change?
\nI think var buffer = new byte[8];

\r\nin your code, you are iterating over all entries in the zip file. For each entry you are reading data, in chunks of 2048 bytes,. You read a chunk, then write it, then read, and write, until there is no more to read. If the file is 4096 bytes long, you read exactly 2 chunks. If the file is 10000 bytes, you read and write 4 complete chunks, and one partial. And for the first chunk only, you told me you want to modify 8 bytes or maybe 16 bytes, or whatever. That is what you told me, but in your code, you are not modifying those bytes for the first chunk only. You are modifying the first 8 bytes (and some other bytes) of every chunk of 2048. That means for a file of 10,000 bytes, you introduce modifications into the file 5 times.
\r\nYou want to modify only the first 8 bytes in the file, you told me. That means you need to make that modification only in the first chunk for each file. Look at the example I provided earlier, it does the right thing. Look at the website. http://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/discussions/268031 The code I provided is correct. Look closely.

Yep I agreed about YAGNI. But due to general practice where i haven't used using block i used to put those close and dispose that's why I have left there.
\r\nAbout my requirement i simply needed to replace starting 8 characters of every line in every zipentry.I have stated about it in my initial post \"replace every line starting 8 characters with some input data\". Other then that in a file of particular extension (.hdr) i have to replace 8 characters in every line's position 17-24 as well.

\r\nalso: I believe in this case You cannot use StreamWriter in a using clause. StreamWriter will close the wrapped stream when it calls Dispose(), which happens implicitly upon exit of a using scope. But you don't want to close the ZipOutputStream (the wrapped stream) , until you've done all entries. So do not use StreamWriter in a using clause, in this case.
\r\nYou also need to be mindful of text encodings.
