Hi Thomas,

As Martin indicated, it would be interesting what the xquery:eval function call does. Could you possibly provide us with a little self-contained example?

With BaseX 11 or later, you can simply do:

archive:extract-to('/path/to/target', '/path/to/archive')

Best, Christian

Hi!

I am an electronic archivist and I have recently tried to use BaseX to unzip files in an archive. The two main lines I have used are:

let $archive := file:read-binary(xquery:eval($filepath-corrected)
return  archive:extract-to(xquery:eval($dir_corrected), $archive)

The variables $dir_corrected and $archive are defined earlier in the code. But I get the error message 'malformed input off : 10, length : 1' , indicating that there is an issue with the input data being processed.

Do you know what can cause this problem? And do you know of a possible work - around?

Med vennlig hilsen
