Ok, well I figured out part of the issue. The CSV file isn’t being
written before the Zlib call. If I break this up into two scripts, the
first that writes the file, the second that zips it, things work.
Any idea why the CSV file wouldn’t be saved when the block ends?

I think you might want to try
outfile = “out.gz”
…
Zlib::GzipWriter.open(outfile) do |gz|
gz.write(File.read(tempfile))
end
also, gzip != zip hence why winzip can’t do anything with the resulting
gzipped file. I wouldn’t know if winzip supports gzip compression or
not. the extension for a gzipped file is typically .gz.

Hey Folks,
I’ve written a script to generate a list of all files on a machine,
then zip the results. I’m going to stick a web front end on it, and use
it to audit some file servers. The problem is that the ZIP
compression/decompression isn’t working,
but its not what you might think. The script completes, but seems to
not actually write anything.
Here is a short version that only looks at the C:/temp drive. You can
change this at the top.
—Start Code Here–
require ‘find’
require ‘csv’
require ‘zlib’
tempfile = “temp.csv”
outfile = “out.zip”
dirname = “c:/temp”
Prepare comma-delimited file for writing
CSV::Writer.generate (File.open(tempfile,“w+”), ‘,’) do |csv|
Find.find(dirname) do |f|
csv << [File.dirname(f), File.basename(f), File.mtime(f).to_s]
end
end
TEST: View the tempfile to make sure it has data.
This prints nothing, but the file DOES have info after
the script completes. Maybe the file isn’t written at this point?
p IO.read(tempfile)
Zlib::GzipWriter.open(outfile) do |gz|
gz << File.open (tempfile).read
end
Zlib::GzipReader.open(outfile) {|gz|
print gz.read
}
The ZIP file can’t be extracted with WINZIP. No idea why, but since
I’ll be using another RUBY script for extraction, im not sure that I
care.
