Hy everyone

Is there a way to read from VBA the content of a JAR archive. To be more
specific, the archive contain a txt file so if i want to read the file, i
need to extract the archive, read the txt, and then create it again. The
problem is that i have to do this manually, so i was wodering if could read
some code for this to work.

Hi,
you can try to unpack file using standart JAR archive program, for example
use this code:

to run JAR exe (whatever it called) and unpack file to temp folder, then
read text file using VBA or transfer text, and then delete file

but i forgot to say what is more important and that is i need to unpack
and pack between 500 and 1000 jar archives so i can't do this manually.

that is why i suggested metioned code - you can use Dir to loop through all
files, uppack each file, and import it,
then next file, etc
