Remove a file from a ZIP archive using JclCompression in Delphi XE2

I've got this situation where I need to remove a specific file from a ZIP archive. Within the application all handling of ZIP files is done using JclCompression. I was wondering if any of you know how to remove a specific file from a ZIP archive using JclCompression? (I couldn't find it)

Solution

  • So, I just accidentally ran into the solution:

    Besides the TJclZipCompressionArchive and TJclDecompressionArchive the JclCompression library also provides a TJclZipUpdateArchive class. This class contains a method to remove a file from the archive.

    zip.RemoveItem(PackedName);
