Unzipping textfile, first character missing

[roger]

Hey guys, I got the following stored in a text (.txt) file, which is, of course, zipped:
Hello World!

However, if I read the file like:

ZipInputStream zis = new ZipInputStream(entry.OpenInputStream());                             
StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(zis);                             
String text = streamReader.ReadToEnd();

The string (text) is:
ello World!

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug (a read() instead of a peek() somewhere)?

Thank you!

Hello Roger,

You don't need to create new ZipInputStream object, because OpenInputStream() method actually returns the decompressed stream, so you should simply pass it to the stream reader:

StreamReader streamReader = new StreamReader(entry.OpenInputStream());
string text = streamReader.ReadToEnd();

If you have further questions feel free to ask.

Thank you that did it. It should be documented how to open files, I couldn't find it in the help files.

Thank you for your help!
