Help with script to parse a text-file compressed with gz

you need the mkZiplib extension, which will allow you to decompress your data on-the-fly

Help with script to parse a text-file compressed with gz

What are you trying to do? You first must download the file, unpack then view it. This should save the file:

Code:

package require httpset f [open "some.file.tgz" w]::http::geturl "http://somepage/some.file.tgz" -channel $fclose $f

if that's what you are looking for.

Help with script to parse a text-file compressed with gz

2004-12-31T11:19:30-04:00

I'm trying to write a script for my eggdrop bot to parse a textfile that is compressed with gzip but can't get it to work.

I'm currently using the http package with the following code:

Code:

set page [::http::geturl ${temp_URL}]set lines [split [::http::data ${page}] \n]set numLines [llength ${lines}]

Then I just parse it a line by a line with a for loop but the problem is that I just get junk from it since it's compressed. I've looked at the compress module some but not quite sure how to use it in this case.

Any help would be appreciated!
