[Question] Extract a .gz file #78

Closed cldsnchz closed 5 years ago

cldsnchz commented 5 years ago

Is it possible to extract a .gz file (not .tar.gz)?

I get Unknown archive file extension .gz when call Archiver logArchiver = ArchiverFactory.createArchiver(logFile);

I tried several combinations but couldn't find a way to generate an Archiver that works for only .gz files.

Yes, it's possible to extract gzip compressed files. Unfortunately compressors aren't reconciled with the Archiver API nicely, but you can use the Compressor interface.

Compressor compressor = CompressorFactory.createCompressor(logFile)
compressor.decompress(logFile, new File("path/to/target.txt"));

Perfect, worked fine. Thanks!
