Read compressed and decompressed data in one script

Post by onelove1210 »

Hi,
I'm a newbie in writing quickbms script. I wonder if there is any solution for reading compressed and decompressed data (the one which has just been decompressed by the script itself) in one and only quickbms script?
Like some decompressed files have their filename in data, while compressed files don't as it is unreadable. I'd like to get that filename for the final output instead of writing another script to rename decompressed files.

Thanks in advance.

Decompress it in a MEMORY_FILE and read the decompressed string from there.

Generic example:
clog MEMORY_FILE OFFSET ZSIZE SIZE
get NAME string MEMORY_FILE
