Example of opening file from archive

[krum110487]

Hello,

I am interested in using this code for my project, but I am not too familiar with the 7z part of the code. I want to use this code to simply take the archive, Loop through the files and analyze them, without unzipping to the disk.

I am not 100% sure how to go about doing that with your library, and I am a bit in over my head.

looking at your code I have this:

func main() {
	//Initialize the lib
	lib, err := sz.NewLib()
	must(err)
	defer lib.free()

	//Get the file reference
	f, err :- os.Open("file.7z")
	must(err)
	
	//Get the file stats
	stats, err := f.Stat()
	must(err)
	
	//Open the 7z file
	is, err := sz.NewInStream(f, "7z", stats.Size())
	is.Stats - &sz.ReadStats{}
	a, err := lib.OpenArchive(is, true)
	must(err)
	
	//This is where my understanding gets a bit fuzzy...

After this it looks like the ecs struct above is used with the "GetStream" function, and I can see how the GetStream function extracts to a file, that makes sense. Here are my more specific questions...

1. is GetStream called for each item? I think it is, but I want to be sure I understand this.
2. if it is per item, what code would I have to write to simply open the file, so I can read it as a text or binary just like os.Open?

I would be happy to write up some examples like you have for the command line once I understand a very trivial example of opening a file found inside of the archive! Thank you for taking the time to read this!
