[Tutor] Zipfile and File manipulation questions.

[Chris Hengge]

Ok, last problem with this whole shebang...

When I write the file from the zip, if it is in a subfolder, it will error..

The code below will detect if the file in contained inside a directory in
the zip, but I just want it to write it like it wasn't.
Another words

Zipfile.zip looks like this
file.ext
file2.ext
folder/
        anotherfile.ext

file.ext extracts fine, file2.ext extracts file.. but it see's the last file
as folder/anotherfile.ext and it can't write it.. I tried to figure out how
to use .split to get it working right.. but I'm not having any luck..
Thanks.

for afile in zfile.namelist(): # For every file in the zip.
        # If the file ends with a needed extension, extract it.
        if afile.lower().endswith('.cap') \
        or afile.lower().endswith('.hex') \
        or afile.lower().endswith('.fru') \
        or afile.lower().endswith('.cfg'):
            if afile.__contains__("/"):
                outfile = open(afile, 'w') # Open output buffer for writing.
                outfile.write(zfile.read(afile)) # Write the file.
                outfile.close() # Close the output file buffer.
            else:
                outfile = open(afile, 'w') # Open output buffer for writing.
                outfile.write(zfile.read(afile)) # Write the file.
                outfile.close() # Close the output file buffer.
