java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.skip() Method Example

Description

The java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.skip(long n) method skips specified number of bytes in the current ZIP entry.

Declaration

Following is the declaration for java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.skip(long n) method.

public long skip(long n)
   throws IOException

Parameters

• n − the number of bytes to skip.

Returns

the actual number of bytes skipped.

Exceptions

• IllegalArgumentException − If n < 0.

• ZipException − if a ZIP file error has occurred.

• IOException − if an I/O error has occurred.

Pre-requisite

Create a file Hello.txt in D:> test > directory with the following content.

This is an example.

Example

The following example shows the usage of java.util.zip.ZipInputStream.read(byte[] buf, int off, int len) method.

package com.tutorialspoint;

import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.zip.Adler32;
import java.util.zip.CheckedOutputStream;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
import java.util.zip.ZipInputStream;
import java.util.zip.ZipOutputStream;

public class ZipInputStreamDemo {
   private static String SOURCE_FILE = "D:\\test\\Hello.txt";
   private static String TARGET_FILE = "D:\\test\\Hello.zip";

   public static void main(String[] args) {
      try {
         createZipFile();
         readZipFile();
      } catch(IOException ioe) {
         System.out.println("IOException : " + ioe);
      }
   }

   private static void createZipFile() throws IOException{
      FileOutputStream fout = new FileOutputStream(TARGET_FILE);
      CheckedOutputStream checksum = new CheckedOutputStream(fout, new Adler32());
      ZipOutputStream zout = new ZipOutputStream(checksum);

      FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(SOURCE_FILE);
      ZipEntry zipEntry = new ZipEntry(SOURCE_FILE);
      zout.putNextEntry(zipEntry);
      int length;
      byte[] buffer = new byte[1024];
      while((length = fin.read(buffer)) > 0) {
         zout.write(buffer, 0, length);
      }

      zout.closeEntry();
      fin.close();
      zout.close();
   }

   private static void readZipFile() throws IOException{
      ZipInputStream zin = new ZipInputStream(new FileInputStream(TARGET_FILE)); 

      ZipEntry entry;
      while((entry = zin.getNextEntry())!=null){
         System.out.printf("File: %s Modified on %TD %n", 
         entry.getName(), new Date(entry.getTime()));
         extractFile(entry, zin); 
         System.out.printf("Zip file %s extracted successfully.", SOURCE_FILE);
         zin.closeEntry();
      }
      zin.close();
   }

   private static void extractFile(final ZipEntry entry, ZipInputStream is) 
      throws IOException {
      FileOutputStream fos = null; 
      try { 
         fos = new FileOutputStream(entry.getName()); 
         final byte[] buf = new byte[1024]; 
         int read = 0; 
         int length; 
         is.skip(0);
         while ((length = is.read(buf, 0, buf.length)) >= 0) { 
            fos.write(buf, 0, length); 
         } 
      } catch (IOException ioex) { 
         fos.close(); 
      } 
   }
}

Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −

File: D:\test\Hello.txt Modified on 05/22/17 
Zip file D:\test\Hello.txt extracted successfully.
