Hi Can you please let me know is it possible to untar a GNU TAR file using the DotNetZip library?.
\r\n\r\n
If it is not possible is there any other Lib in C# which can do the untar?
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
Thanks in advance for your time
\r\nSumanth BR

\r\nthanks for the tar library :)
\r\ni have the library compiled as tar.exe and tar.dll....
\r\nthe tar.exe works perfectly...
\r\nhow to create a tar from dll in vb.net?
\r\ni have 2 files in my directory ...
\r\nexample for folder..
\r\nc:\\temp\\test
\r\nas i add the 2 files to one tar?
\r\n\r\n

Joe,
\r\nIt takes just one line in VB.NET to make a tar archive:
\r\nIonic.Tar.CreateArchive(archiveName, fileNames)\r\n
If you specify the names of the files explicitly, it might look like this:
\r\n Ionic.Tar.CreateArchive("MyArchive.tar", new String() {"file1.txt", "file2.txt"})\r\nYou should get the updated Tar.cs source, and re-build the DLL. I reworked the library to make it simpler to use, and add intellisense documentation. It's still available at http://cheeso.members.winisp.net/srcview.aspx?dir=Tar
\r\nGood luck.

\r\nI find myself in need of regularly obtaining the 5 day outlook from NOAA's NWS service that provides GIS shapefile data.
\r\nThe way they structure their .TAR files are without a PATH in them....this caused (or so it seemed to me) a problem in the library during this call:
\r\nif (!Directory.Exists(p))
\r\nDirectory.CreateDirectory(p);
\r\ncontained within the List >> if wantExtract
\r\nmy solution was (because I was in fact using the library in a Windows Form VB project) to add this:
\r\ncaseTarEntryType.File_Contiguous:
\r\nstring p = Path.GetDirectoryName(name);
\r\n// ALPHABETAONE ADDED on 07/30/2010 REMOVE OR CHANGE THIS IF NECESSARY
\r\nif (p == "")
\r\np = System.Windows.Forms.Application.StartupPath;
\r\n// ALPHABETAONE ADDED on 07/30/2010 REMOVE OR CHANGE THIS IF NECESSARY
\r\nif (!Directory.Exists(p))
\r\nDirectory.CreateDirectory(p);
\r\n\r\n
output = _internal_GetExtractOutputStream(name);
\r\nbreak;
\r\n\r\n
\r\n
If there is a more elegant way to handle this, (which Im sure there is since I'm not at all a C# programmer) perhaps you could implement it? Otherwise some fantastic libraries!!

P.S. This is the link of the .TAR file on their site if you want to use it as a guideline: ftp://ftp.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/shapefiles/qpf/5day/QPF120hr_Day1-5_latest.tar
