Writing zip contents to a text file

Question

I'm trying to write the contents of a zip file to a text file. My code right now only writes the first file. (This is using SharpZipLib)

ZipInputStream zip = new ZipInputStream(File.OpenRead(AddonFile));
ZipEntry item;

while ((item = zip.GetNextEntry()) != null)
{
    FileStream fs1 = new FileStream(
        @"resource\texts\"+ Path.GetFileName(AddonFile)+".text",
        FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
    StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fs1);
    writer.Write(item.Name);
    writer.Close();
}

You are using `FileMode.OpenOrCreate`, use `FileMode.Append` — Hari Prasad, Mar 14 '16 at 03:46

You are creating a new file each time you process a zip file entry, open the file outside the while loop and close it after the loop, like so:

ZipInputStream zip = new ZipInputStream(File.OpenRead(AddonFile));
ZipEntry item;

FileStream fs1 = new FileStream(
    @"resource\texts\"+ Path.GetFileName(AddonFile)+".text",
    FileMode.OpenOrCreate, FileAccess.Write);
StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fs1);

while ((item = zip.GetNextEntry()) != null)
{
    writer.Write(item.Name);
}
writer.Close();
