Extract a ZIP file programmatically by DotNetZip library?

Question

I have a function that get a ZIP file and extract it to a directory (I use DotNetZip library.)

public void ExtractFileToDirectory(string zipFileName, string outputDirectory) {      ZipFile zip = ZipFile.Read(zipFileName);      Directory.CreateDirectory(outputDirectory);      zip.ExtractAll(outputDirectory,ExtractExistingFileAction.OverwriteSilently); } 

My ZIP file contains multiple files and directories. But I want to extract only some of these files, not all of them.

How can I make this work?

You need to test each ZipEntry to see if you want to extract it:

public void ExtractFileToDirectory(string zipFileName, string outputDirectory) {      ZipFile zip = ZipFile.Read(zipFileName);      Directory.CreateDirectory(outputDirectory);       foreach (ZipEntry e in zip)       {         // check if you want to extract e or not         if(e.FileName == "TheFileToExtract")            e.Extract(outputDirectory, ExtractExistingFileAction.OverwriteSilently);       } }
