Reading a zip file
I don't know of any utility that will give you the names of the files in a
zip archive in a way you can get into Excel. You may need to read the file in binary form and decode it. The specs for a zip file can be found at: http://www.pkware.com/company/standards/appnote/ It will be a challenge to write a routine to decode the file header info, but that is all I can think of doing. Good luck! "big t" wrote: Hi everyone, I need to populate some cells in Excel with the name of the files in a given zip file, and I am totally, completely and utterly stumped!!! Any ideas???
