[solved] packing an entry with Zip::Builder stores a different file

General JUCE discussion
1

I have a file that i'm trying to pack in a zip package with the juce::ZipFile::Builder class. But the original file is different from the one it is stored in the zip archive (don't know why): if i read it back with juce::ZipFile (or extract it with a third party archiver application) and compare the bytes, i get different bytes only at the start of the files... don't know where to look !

Original file in a memory block i pack with zero compression with:

    ZipFile::Builder pack;

    pack.addEntry(new MemoryInputStream(memoryBlock, false), 0, "testfile.bin", now);

    pack.writeToStream(os, nullptr);

This is the unpacked file (with juce or an external archiver):

    ZipFile pack(is, false);

    pack.createStreamForEntry(pack.getIndexOfFileName("testfile.bin")->readIntoMemoryBlock(memoryBlock);

The rest of the file is equal.

I never experienced something like this... any ideas ?

Does it only happen with a specific file? If it happened to all files then I'd have thought everyone else would have complained loudly by now!

Are you sure you're closing/flushing/deleting your objects properly? That's normally the cause when files seem to be written incorrectly.

don't mind. seems i have found that doing a memory input stream keeping a copy of the data from the memory block make it work.

sorry for the fuss !
