Currently used by Zip writer (default is null: no cache) - appendRemoveDuplicates: specify if the appenders should remove the old files from an archive to avoid creating duplicates (default is false, which is faster) + Add the possibility to use wildcards in read function File_Archive::read('dir/*.txt') will read all txt files from directory dir File_Archive::read('archive.zip/*.txt') will read all txt files from the zip archive Note: The wildcards can only be used after the last '/' + All the File_Archive functions that take a reader or a writer as an argument can now take a string or an array. For readers, strings are interpreted using File_Archive::read function and array using File_Archive::readMulti. For writers, strings are interpreted using File_Archive::appender function and array by creating a multi writer. Package Info ------------- This library is strongly object oriented.
