Syntax

<Result> = zipIsMulti(<Archive>)

<Result>: Boolean

True if the archive is a multi-part archive,
False if the archive is a single-part archive.

<Archive>: Character string (with quotes) or zipArchive variable

Name of archive to use.
This name can correspond to:
an archive name, defined by zipOpen or by zipCreate.
Versions 15 and later
the name of a zipArchive variable.
New in version 15
the name of a zipArchive variable.
the name of a zipArchive variable.

Remarks

Use conditions

The archive type can only be searched for if the archive exists (an archive is created with function zipCreate).
This function is available for the archives in WDZ, ZIP and 7z format.

Reminder:

Only ZIP, TAR and TGZ (TAR.GZ) archives are available.

Actions that can be performed on a multi-part archive

Some archiving functions can only be used on the single-part archives (add and delete files, create a self-extracting executable, etc.). To perform these operations, it is sufficient to group the sub-archives (zipMerge) to obtain a single-part archive.

From a multi-part archive, you only have the ability to:

Merge the different parts (zipMerge).
Get various information about the archive and the files in the archive (functions zipExtractPath, zipInfoFile, zipListFile, ...).
Extract the files (zipExtractFile, zipExtractAll).

Actions that can be performed on a single-part active

All the archiving functions can be used on single-part archives, except for the zipMerge function (allowing the different parts of an archive to be grouped together).
