I've been playing around with the zipstream module and like it a lot. I was wondering, is it possible to list the contents of a zip file, similar to a readdir() command? I would like to just load every image contained in the zip, rather than having to know their names ahead of time.

I found no way to do that, so I decided to put
a textfile in the zip with the filenames.

Yeah, that's what I've been doing too. I was just hoping there might be another way.

GMan's Zip-module can list the contents of a zip file.

From the examples included:

	' Password Example 2
	' Open the zip file we just created and extract
	' a file
	If ( zrObject.OpenZip("data_pass.zip") ) Then
		Print("filecount: "+zrObject.getFileCount())
		
		' display file information
		For Local i:Int=0 To zrObject.getFileCount()-1
			Print("filename: "+zrObject.getFileInfo(i).zipFileName)
			Print("simplefilename: "+zrObject.getFileInfo(i).simpleFileName)
			Print("path: "+zrObject.getFileInfo(i).path)
			Print("orig size: "+zrObject.getFileInfo(i).header.DataDescriptor.uncompressedsize)
			Print("comp size: "+zrObject.getFileInfo(i).header.DataDescriptor.compressedsize)
		Next

		zrObject.ExtractFileToDisk("testdata.txt", "extracted_testdata_pass.txt", False, "gman")
		zrObject.ExtractFileToDisk("zipdemo.bmx", "extracted_zipdemo_pass.bmx", False, "gman")
		zrObject.CloseZip()
	End If
