Opening Zipped files

Hello,

this is simple question, I have been trying to find out if it is possible to have Maxscript open and read or to extract data from a Zip file. We are getting CSV files that another program exports to a zip file, and we are seeing if we can just get Max to open and read, or to extract the data to remove a step in our process.

Thanks for you time.

You can use the 'unmaz' command to unzip the archive to a temporary location and then parse the files and clean up after. For anything more advanced, you'd have to use the .NET route.

Awesome

Thank you, that should help me out. I will give it a shot and see if it can do what I need.
