Extracting a specific folder from a zip using DotNetZip

Question

I\'ve searched around for examples, but can\'t seem to find a DotNetZip scenario that involves extracting a certain folder. I\'m trying to extract a folder called \"CSS\" fr

Answer 1

Try this:

var entries = zip.SelectEntries("*", @"folder1\folder2\");
foreach (var file in entries)
{/* extract here */}

I think this is the best approach.

Answer 2

This worked for me.

          public void ExtractFiles(string fileName, string outputDirectory)
          {
                using (ZipFile zip1 = ZipFile.Read(fileName))
                {
                    var selection = (from e in zip1.Entries
                                     where (e.FileName).StartsWith("CSS/")
                                     select e);


                    Directory.CreateDirectory(outputDirectory);

                    foreach (var e in selection)
                    {                            
                        e.Extract(outputDirectory);        
                    }
                }
         }
