Interesting. I never knew about that. Doesn't that mean user needs to have
7za installed on their systems? If so, what if users don't have it
installed. Can we package the 7za.exe within our AIR app and use it?

I looked into some of the examples. But not quite getting it to work:

Same code with pretty print : https://codepaste.net/82gk2q


if(NativeProcess.isSupported)
{
var nativeProcessStartupInfo:NativeProcessStartupInfo = new
NativeProcessStartupInfo();
var file:File = new File('c://zip//7za.exe'); //instead of using it from
local file system, i want to place exe file withing source and use it here
nativeProcessStartupInfo.executable = file;
var processArgs:Vector.<String> = new Vector.<String>();
processArgs.push("7z e file.zip");//+localZipFile.nativePath); //"file.zip"
resides inside "c://zip//", tried "7za e file.zip", tried "7za.exe
file.zip", none of those work
nativeProcessStartupInfo.arguments = processArgs;
process = new NativeProcess();
process.start(nativeProcessStartupInfo);
process.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_DATA, onOutputData);
process.addEventListener(ProgressEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_DATA, onErrorData);
process.addEventListener(NativeProcessExitEvent.EXIT, onExit);
process.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.STANDARD_OUTPUT_IO_ERROR, onIOError);
process.addEventListener(IOErrorEvent.STANDARD_ERROR_IO_ERROR, onIOError);
}

For all the options that i tried above, I get following trace:

(onOutputData)
Got:
7-Zip (A) 9.20  Copyright (c) 1999-2010 Igor Pavlov  2010-11-18

(onErrorData)
Error:
Incorrect command line

(onExit)
Process exited with  7


Kindly let me know if I am missing something there.
