See more Zip Examples

A common need is to unzip from an AES encrypted Zip archive directly into a string variable, such that the unencrypted file never resides on disk, even temporarily. This example shows how to do it. AutoIt

;  This example opens a WinZip-compatible AES encrypted
;  .zip that contains a single file: hamlet.xml.

;  It decrypts and unzips hamlet.xml directly into a string
;  variable.
