Why is lua crashing after extracting zip files?
- by Brian T Hannan
I have the following code but it crashes every time it reaches the end of the function, but it successfully extracts all the files and puts them in the right location.
require "zip"
function ExtractZipAndCopyFiles(zipPath, zipFilename, destinationPath)
local zfile, err = zip.open(zipPath .. zipFilename)
-- iterate through each file insize the zip file
for file in zfile:files() do
local currFile, err = zfile:open(file.filename)
local currFileContents = currFile:read("*a") -- read entire contents of current file
local hBinaryOutput = io.open(destinationPath .. file.filename, "wb")
-- write current file inside zip to a file outside zip
if(hBinaryOutput)then
hBinaryOutput:write(currFileContents)
hBinaryOutput:close()
end
end
zfile:close()
end
-- call the function
ExtractZipAndCopyFiles("C:\\Users\\bhannan\\Desktop\\LUA\\", "example.zip", "C:\\Users\\bhannan\\Desktop\\ZipExtractionOutput\\")
Why does it crash every time it reaches the end?
