Is it possible to write the extraction output from SevenZipSharp to file on the fly rather than to memory and then to file?
The reason I am writing to a stream rather than directly to a file is to check a Byte at a specific location (to determine the version of the file being extracted) I would like to get this value as soon as possible, rather than after the file is extracted.
The sample code works but is extremely slow, I cannot work out a method to write the stream within the events. Dim ms As New MemoryStream
Private Sub Test()
Using tmp = New SevenZipExtractor(FILENAME)
AddHandler tmp.Extracting, AddressOf SevenZip_Extracting
AddHandler tmp.ExtractionFinished, AddressOf SevenZip_ExtractionFinished
tmp.ExtractFile(0, ms)
End Using
End Sub
Private Sub SevenZip_Extracting(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As ProgressEventArgs)
' Read Bytes at position 3756 (b * 256 + a)
If e.PercentDone = 1 Then
Dim br As BinaryReader = New BinaryReader(ms)
Dim lngStartPos As Long = 3756
br.BaseStream.Seek(lngStartPos, SeekOrigin.Begin)
Dim a As Byte = br.ReadByte()
Dim b As Byte = br.ReadByte()
Console.WriteLine(b * 256 + a)
End If
Using fs As FileStream = File.OpenWrite("C:\Temp\output.tmp")
ms.WriteTo(fs)
End Using
End Sub
