So now the only thing I have to ask is just how to unzip a zip file. I have 3 folders to unzip in the Documents folder. I only need to unzip it into a "Contents" folder inside the documents folder and that's all already. Any help?

Thanks

Jeremy

Is it confusing? haha. Meaning I have in the documents folder "Content.zip" and a folder named "Contents" where I want to put three of my folders inside the zip file into the folder "Contents"

Haha nope. The zip file is named "Content.zip" and the folder is Contents. Because Content.zip is being "copy files" into already individually.

It's from the same card the button is at and it's at the opencard of it.

Oh it's in another card and the Content zip file is already in my documents folder alr.

put (specialFolderPath("engine") & "/Content.zip") into filePath
put url ("binfile:" & filePath) into destFilePath
put destFilePath into url ("binfile:"& (specialFolderPath("Documents") & "/Content.zip"))

put specialFolderPath("documents") & "/Content.zip" into TempFile
put specialFolderPath("documents") & "/Contents" into TargetFile
Is that correct?

the TargetFile is in the documents' folder "Contents" folder and the folder name that I want to unzip is in the documents folder of zip file ...

on mouseUp
if the environment = "development" then touchEnd 1
send unZip to me in 0 milliseconds
end mouseUp

command unZip
put specialFolderPath("documents") & "/Content.zip" into TempFile
put specialFolderPath("documents") & "/Contents" into TargetFile
revZipOpenArchive TempFile, "read ...

I tried "answer the result" and "answer result" and "result" but it doesn't work

I used the dictionary to find "result" but don't get what it does and except check for errors but it doesn't tell me what errors there are too.

Oh ya and there are three folders in my Content.zip now already named "JS", "Images" and "Style" only. Is it possible to extract all three of them at once into the names they should be to the documents folder from the engine folder?

##Edit : Tried answering them one by one on top, only tList isn't ...

Just edited it again.

And does the code "send unzip to me in 0 milliseconds" actually does the command "unZip"? :O

## Edit: As seen, I have 4 "answer it". But I only got 2 answers which are blank.

Thanks

Yes I downloaded the file you used and substituted the codes I needed to unzip the folders into the documents folder. It still doesn't work.

on mouseUp
if the environment = "development" then touchEnd 1

send unZip to me in 0 milliseconds
end mouseUp

command unZip
put specialFolderPath ...

html files are not binary files, so just "file:"
Images are "binfiles:"

also

put the files into tLotsOfFiles
repeat with x = 1 to the number of lines in tLotsOfFiles
put line x of tLotsOfFiles into tFileName

Now can you see how to use tFileName to copy the files?

Not sure about your ...

I guess, I'll do it with the zip portion. Should be able to work fine for me. (: I will try it now. Thanks to all of you, Klaus, Simon and Gerry!

Because in the engine folder the folder is named "Content" and in the Documents folder it's named as "Contents"

repeat with n = 1 to 11
put (specialFolderPath("engine") & "/Content/p"&n&".html") into filePath
put url ("binfile:" & filePath) into destFilePath
put destFilePath into url ("binfile:"& (specialFolderPath("Documents") & "/Contents/p"&n&".html"))
end repeat

this is my code for the files to be ...
