(AutoIt) Decompress Gzip Data In-Place Using BinData

See more Gzip Examples

This example demonstrates how to use the UncompressBd method to decompress Gzip data stored in a BinData object.

The compressed .gz file is first loaded into memory. The UncompressBd method then decompresses the data in-place, meaning the original compressed bytes in the BinData object are replaced with the uncompressed data.

After decompression, the example writes the resulting data to a file. This approach is useful when working entirely in memory before saving or further processing the uncompressed data.
