GPAL Fluent: High-level fluent C# API

//The path through the zip is the whole of the reading side; there is no unzip step. The converter gets orders.csv as an ordinary file. The url opens the tar.gz because a wildcard follows it. Every .log at the top of the tar is in logs.Filenames. The cast is there because SaveTo and Delete are actions on the GPALFile itself, the same as CopyTo. SaveTo returns the same files, which is why Delete after it removes the csv files and not the zip. The extension path is a folder, so the whole tree goes in; *.gz with no folder writes each .gz beside the file it came from.

// one file out of a zip, straight into the converter

GPALFile orders = (GPALFile)GPAL.File

.WithFileName("C:\work\export.zip\orders.csv");

GPAL.Converter

.WithInput(orders)

.WithOutputType(DataFormat.JSON)

.SaveTo("C:\work\orders.json");

// a tar.gz on the web, fetched and opened on one line

GPALFile logs = (GPALFile)GPAL.File

.WithFileName("https://example.com/builds/logs.tar.gz/*.log");

// every csv in one zip, then the originals removed

((GPALFile)GPAL.File

.WithFileName("C:\reports\*.csv"))

.SaveTo("C:\out\reports.zip")

.Delete();

// an extension folder packed as an .xpi, subfolders kept

((GPALFile)GPAL.File

.WithFileName("C:\source\extension\"))

.SaveTo("C:\out\extension.xpi");

// each file gzipped beside itself under its own name

((GPALFile)GPAL.File

.WithFileName("C:\reports\*.csv"))

.SaveTo("*.gz");
