During last night’s usergroup presentation I mentioned another new Scorpio tag, one we’ve not yet discussed publicly, and the tag that will now appear last in alphabetical CFML tag listings.
- DELETE deletes one or more files from an archive file.
- LIST lists the contents of an archive file.
- READ reads the contents of an archived file into a variable.
- READBINARY reads the contents of a binary archived file into a variable.
- UNZIP extracts files from an archive file.
- ZIP compressed files into an archive file.

This Is JUST Great !
We have been using the third party tools to do these kinda of stuff.
Anyways, One quick question I had was is there any sort of documentation for the new tags which are supported in Scorpio. I mean it would be easier for us to test implement if we can get sort of documentation on them. Or is this something we have to wait till its release ? Please Advice.
COOL!!! Adobe’s invented a new archive file format!
What sort of specs are there for the ZAP files? Filename length? Empty folders? Compression algos?
Come on, Ben… details details! 😉
ZAP files? I was at Lansing last night and you didn’t mention "ZAP" files in CF8 there! LOL
Yeah, right, nice guys – kick a guy while he is sleep deprived 😉 Wiseguys! Fixed.

lol – The funny part is – WAAAAAAAAAAAAAY back in the day when…. ZAP actually WAS a file compression program – based off of an LZH alogrithm. I believe it was for the either the old Amiga platform or for OS/2 Warp – I can’t remember which.
I have to give it up. You all were *definitely* thinking about the developer with this release. That makes this developer very happy.
I really enjoyed the Coldfusion User Group in Lansing the other night. Ben really knows his stuff and it was a real pleasure meeting him. Go Ben Go!! Coldfusion is now my new passion for our companies website and one day to help others as well!!
Thanks Ben and I look forward to meeting you again!
Awww, Ben… you know we love you man (in that manly sort of way)!
You guys always bust your behinds for us in a big way and we appreciate it more than you can know.
I am using winrar, satisfies. and zip fignya
A great tag, but…. I have one question about using cfzip action=unzip, is there a way to unzip an archive file containing file names with accents?
Thanks
I have the same question as the last guy. I need to be able to unzip files whose names contain characters such as é, ç, ö etc
Currently this does not work. Can anyone help?
Thanks
I am using CFZIP to read in .xlsx files – when i dump the content, all strings come across as numbers…? like A is 5, B is 6 but AB is NOT 56 its another number. However all numeric content stays intact. Anyone know how to resolev the string auto-converting to numers issue?
