Deal with splitted ZIM files

[Emmanuel Engelhart]

Hi,

I need to have Kiwix able to deal with splitted ZIM files like discussed
in June. Tommi seems to have implemented that in the zimlib but I do not
achieve to deal with.

My use case is a 11GB big file splitted in 3 smaller files called xaa,
xab and xac. I have moved all of them in /tmp/.

But, new zim::File(zimFilePath) returns the following error:
error 2 opening file "/tmp/xaa:/tmp/xab:/tmp/xac": Aucun fichier ou
dossier de ce type

I also called zimdump -F "/tmp/xaa:/tmp/xab:/tmp/xac" and get the same
error.

So Christian or Tommi, how should i do?

Thx in advance
Emmanuel

Hi,

I looked at the code and tried to rembember, how I did that. Looks like I have
to spend some time in documentation;-)

If you have split your zim file into /tmp/xaa, /tmp/xab and /tmp/xac pass
"/tmp/a" as a file name and the zimlib will find the files if "/tmp/a" do not
exist. It just appends two characters starting with aa, ab... until no further
files are found.

Maybe I should reactivate this parseFilelist function, which is currently dead
code, so as an alternative it will be possible to pass a colon separated list
of files.

Works also on Windows, but I have had to patch the code:

Hi,

What about this patch for Windows?

This is the second time I propose it and I never get a feedback and as far
as I know it wasn't applied to trunk:
https://intern.openzim.org/pipermail/dev-l/2010-April/000398.html

Without it, it won't run (maybe compile) on Windows (if compiled with MS
cl.exe)

Is there something wrong?

Regards
Emmanuel

I think that is more intuitive than guessing letters of the alphabet.

I am glad you can split zim files arbitrarily, though.

Cheers, Andy!
