Archive::Zip - is a member directory ?

[MoshiachNow]

Hi,

Unzipping from a zip file,I need to establish if the member is a directory or a file.
The following code does not seem to do it it for me,the result is always ZERO (a file..).
Appreciate any advise:

$zip = Archive::Zip->new();
die if $zip->read( $filename1 ) != AZ_OK;
if (Archive::Zip::Member->isDirectory($NAME)) {
do something ...

I have also tried:
if ($zip->isDirectory($NAME)) {
$NAME passed can be directory or a file,and I expect "1" if it's a directory.
The exit code from the above is always Zero ...Why ?
Surely something is wrong with my syntax.
Thanks

Read the documentation a little more carefully:

http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/Archive-Zip-1.18/lib/Archive/Zip.pm#Member_Simple_accessors

isDirectory() is an instance method of the Archive::Zip::Member class. In your first attempt you use it as a class method of Archive::Zip::Member, and in your second as an instance method of Archive::Zip. Also, in the documentation you will notice that it doesn't accept any parameters. This should also clue you into that you aren't using it correctly.

Here is a working version of what you were attempting:

# Read a Zip file
my $zip = Archive::Zip->new();
unless ( $zip->read( $filename1 ) == AZ_OK ) {
    die 'read error';
}

# Read a member
my $member = $somezip->memberNamed( $NAME );
if ($member->isDirectory()) {                    
  do something ...

Note: if the member does not exist, then memberNamed will return undef.

If you just want to toggle through the members use $zip->members();

Guys,

I think it's fair to assume that the guy with a question DID read the docs,but there is sometimes a limit to the extent he understood it.
I do not have much experience with object oriented staff,so I needed an advice.
Thanks for it.
