Object: AutoRemove

The AutoRemove object offers support when working with ZIP archives. The methods allow you to unzip ZIP archives to a temporary folder and automatically delete the files in this folder.

Note that a ZIP archive contains exactly one measurement data file. The DataFinder indexes a ZIP file only once, like any other measurement data file. Addressing within the ZIP archive is not possible.

The following example creates a temporary folder and unzips the ZIP archive FileName in this folder. Then the example imports the data of the first file with the load method described in the ATFX DataPlugin:

Sub ReadStore(FileName)
  Dim TempFolder
  TempFolder = AutoRemove.CreateFolder()

  Dim FileList
  FileList = Unzip(FileName, TempFolder)

  Call Root.ImportStore(TempFolder & FileList(0), "ATFX")
End Sub
