For some reason there is an added __MACOSX folder in there which is causing problems in my application. What I want to do is only process files that are in the root of the zip file, any directories and any files within them should be ignored. Is there a built-in way of doing this or would I need to do some processing myself?</p>\r\n<p>Thanks for any help</p>",
