Issues with Localized file names
posted

We are evaluating the zip utility and have run into an issue.  I zipped a file called á.txt with windows 7 and tried to unzip it in a silverlight test app.  The filename came back as "�.txt" (the first character is 0xFFFD instead of 0x00E1.

Is there a workaround for this?

    Hi ccifra,

    as Mihail have said the filename is probably not encoded in UTF8 which is the default one for the Compression Library. It is most likely that the filenames in your archive has been encoded with IBM437 code page. You could try to load the zip archive this way:

    var zip = new ZipFile(yourSource, new CodePage437Encoding());

     

    Hope this helps.
