Reading All RAR files

[lassad]

Hi,

I wanted to share with the community my way of using RAR files in C++ . RAR files offer better engryption and compression ratio than zip files.
The solution need 3 files :
-unrar.dll the original dll from UNRAR SDK
-unrar.h a c++ interface for the dll (that i forked somehow)
-Libunrar.a a static library for linking under mingw complilers (i dont like .lib linking and Visual Studio crap)

How to use in your c++ project:
- Plug the dll and the .h file into the same dir of your app.
- Link with the .a library
- Put the two functions below in your app

Use the RGetfileEx function like this : unsigned char*Buffer=RGetfileEx("Rarfilename","extractfilename","password",size) , size must be int variable
it searches for a specific file in the rar archive and decompresses it into the memory Buffer and returns the filesize in the variable size (4th parameter of the function)

#include "unrar.h"

unsigned char* BufferRAR=NULL;
HANDLE rarFile;
RARHeaderDataEx fileInfo;
RAROpenArchiveDataEx archiveInfo;
int cntp=0;
int OldSize=0;

int __stdcall CallbackProc(UINT msg,LONG UserData,LONG P1,LONG P2)
{
  switch(msg)
  {
    case UCM_CHANGEVOLUME:
      return(0);
    case UCM_PROCESSDATA:
		if (BufferRAR == NULL){
			OldSize = 0;
			cntp= 0;
			BufferRAR = (unsigned char*) malloc(P2);
			cntp=cntp+P2;
			}
		else
			{
			OldSize = cntp;
			BufferRAR = (unsigned char*) realloc(BufferRAR, OldSize + P2);
			cntp=cntp+P2;
			}
		memcpy(BufferRAR + OldSize,(unsigned char*)P1,P2);
		return 1;
    case UCM_NEEDPASSWORD:
      return(0);
  }
  return(0);
}


unsigned char* RGetfileEx (char *fnm,char *rarnm,char *pasw,int &si){
     BufferRAR=NULL;
     HANDLE rarFile;
     RARHeaderDataEx fileInf;
     RAROpenArchiveDataEx archiveInf;
     memset(&archiveInf, 0, sizeof(archiveInf));
     archiveInf.CmtBuf = NULL;
     archiveInf.OpenMode = RAR_OM_EXTRACT;
     archiveInf.ArcName = rarnm;
     rarFile = RAROpenArchiveEx(&archiveInf);
	 RARSetPassword(rarFile, pasw);
	 RARSetCallback(rarFile, CallbackProc,NULL);

    if (archiveInf.OpenResult != 0) {
       RARCloseArchive(rarFile);
       cout  << "unrar couldn't open" << endl;
       return NULL;
    }
	fileInf.CmtBuf = NULL;

	int PFCode;
	bool exi=FALSE;
	si=0;
	while (!exi){
		//cout << fileInfo.FileName << " (" << fileInfo.UnpSize << ")" << endl;
		if (stricmp(fileInf.FileName,fnm)==0){
                    PFCode = RARProcessFileW(rarFile, RAR_TEST, NULL, NULL);
		    si=fileInf.UnpSize;
		    if (PFCode != 0) cout  << "error processing this file\n" << endl;
		    RARCloseArchive(rarFile);
		    exi=TRUE;
		}
		else
		{
		PFCode=RARProcessFileW(rarFile, RAR_SKIP, NULL, NULL);
		if (RARReadHeaderEx(rarFile, &fileInf)==ERAR_END_ARCHIVE)
			{
			exi=TRUE;
                        RARCloseArchive(rarFile);
			cout << "end of archive:file not found" << endl;
			BufferRAR=NULL;
			}
		}

	}
	return BufferRAR;
}

Hope that some one could integrate this in thinbasic modules.
