Description

Overview

This VI confirms that the MD5 checksums of the files are the same and then extract the files to the specified directory

 

Description

This example program is designed to be used in conjunction with this LabVIEW example. It assumes that there is a ZIP file as well as an MD5 checksum stored in a text file titled <ZIP File name>_MD5.txt. If both these files are present, this code will confirm that the MD5 checksums of the files are the same and then extract the files to the specified directory

 

Requirements

LabVIEW 2012 or compatible

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

 

  1. Provide the Zip File Path
  2. Provide the Target Unzip Directory File Path
  3. Make sure that MD5 checksum file is stored in a text file titled <ZIP File name>_MD5.txt
  4. Check MD5 Check Button
  5. Run the VI
