Hi Gerard, Thanks for the reply. My file is now no more empty but the "extracted" contents is still the zipped data?? Please look at what I'm doing below and help my frustrated soul, I will be forever gratefull! procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var FileData: TMemoryStream; MyData: TMemoryStream; MyOutData: TZipStream; Buf1: Array[1..6] of Byte; begin FileData := TMemoryStream.Create; FileData.Position := 0; FileData.LoadFromFile('c:\Example.zip'); MyData := TMemoryStream.Create; MyData.Position := 0; Buf1[1] := 0; Buf1[2] := 0; Buf1[3] := 9; Buf1[4] := 9; Buf1[5] := 9; Buf1[6] := 9; MyData.Write(Buf1,6); MyData.Position := 6; MyData.CopyFrom(FileData,0); MyData.Position := 0; MyOutData := ZipMaster1.ExtractStreamToStream(MyData, 32768); MyOutData.Position := 0; MyOutData.SaveToFile('c:\Extracted.txt'); end; Why oh why is the file 'c:\Extracted.txt' still the compressed zip file? Thank you so much!, Werner Kok -----Original Message----- From: delphizip-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:delphizip-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Gerard Sent: 23 February 2005 03:05 PM To: delphizip@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [delphizip] Re: ExtractStreamToStream Hi Werner, Maybe the you need set to set xxStream.Position := 0 before you save the ZipStream into another stream. After writing to your stream, the postion is probably at the end and you need to set it back to the beginning before you save it into a filestream HTH, Gerard.
