(e.g., was it a programming challenge?) Need to write text file and write to a compressed .zip file
To give you the exact text or method, I need to know: TheCount_compressed.zip
If this is a standard 7-zip archive, use 7-Zip for Windows to extract the contents. TheCount_compressed.zip
(.zip, .7z, .gz, or just a raw text file?) TheCount_compressed.zip
If the file is a raw compressed stream (e.g., Base64 encoded), use zlib to decode it.
Similar to the examples, the file might use a marker (like a special character) followed by a number indicating how many times to repeat the next character.
