I must extract the file from the archive twice as i cannot copy the extracted version to the second location

Of course I can. Ihe problem is that I don't wanted to always remember what already has been extracted, let it stay on the disk, reuse it, if even necessary, and cleanup later. Extracting it a second time if I already know that it's needed and don't have to look if it's already extracted would have been less code.

Forgive me, but I don't understand. I would gladly offer whatever help I can provide, but this problem your facing doesn't make sense... please clarify

The main question is: Is there a limitation on how often one can extract the same zip member and if, why? I don't see any reason why one shouldn't be able to extract a member more than once, if he wants to.

If this approach is unsuitable, why not?

In my mind it's waste of space to extract everything at once if I always just need one or two files from the archive. If there are two same named files in the archive you get a problem, too.

But as I said before, I really would like to know if it's possible to extract a member more than once or not. Maybe I'm just missing something like endRead in the proper way or stuff like that.
