unzipping a file in cocoa

Question

I have a zipped file, which i want to extract the contents of it. What is the exact procedure that i should do to achieve it. Is there any framework to unzip the files in cocoa framework or objective C.

Answer 1

If you are on iOS or don't want to use NSTask or whatever, I recommend my library SSZipArchive.

Usage:

NSString *path = @"path_to_your_zip_file";
NSString *destination = @"path_to_the_folder_where_you_want_it_unzipped";
[SSZipArchive unzipFileAtPath:path toDestination:destination];

Pretty simple.
