ActiveZIP - Manipulate ZIP and GZ Files by Script (Javascript, VBScript)

Introduction

ActiveZIP is ActiveX object. It has the following features:

• Support ZIP and GZIP compressing and uncompressing.
• Can be used in JavaScript and VBScript programs.
• Self-Contained: the Tools Interface provides necessary file and folder dialog boxes --- you can manipulate zip files without assistance of other ActiveX objects.

Usage Example

var at=new ActiveXObject("ActiveZIP.Tools");
var dir=at.SHBrowseForFolder(); // Prompt user to select a folder
if(dir.length>0) // If the length of the folder is less than 1, it means the user has canceled the operation
    {
    // Prompt the user for the zip file name
    var zipFile=at.GetSaveFileName("zip", "", "ZIP Files|*.zip||"); 
    if(zipFile.length>0) // If the length of the file name is less than 1, it means the user has canceled the operation
        {
        var az=new ActiveXObject("ActiveZIP.ZIP"); 
        az.Create(zipFile); // Create the zip file
        az.AddFolder(dir, false, "*.pdf"); // Add the selected folder to the zip

        }
    }
