Compress and Decompress a File
The following sample compresses and decompresses a file.
Note:
This sample script uses the require function so you can copy it into the SuiteScript Debugger and test it. You must use the define function in an entry point script (a script you attach to a script record and deploy). For more information, see SuiteScript 2.x Script Basics SuiteScript 2.0 Script Basics and SuiteScript 2.x Script Types SuiteScript 2.0 Script Types.

var unsavedTxtFile = file.create({
fileType: 'PLAINTEXT',
name: 'file.txt',
contents: 'This is a sample content. This is a sample content. This is a sample content. This is only a sample.'
});
log.debug('Name, size, and contents of the original, uncompressed file are: ');
log.debug('Name: ' + unsavedTxtFile.name);
log.debug('Size: ' + unsavedTxtFile.size + 'b');
log.debug('Contents: ' + unsavedTxtFile.getContents());
// gzip the file with max compression (level = 9)
var gzippedFile = compress.gzip({
file: unsavedTxtFile,
level: 9
});

// gunzip the file
var gunzippedFile = compress.gunzip({
file: gzippedFile
});
log.debug('Name, size, and contents of the gunzipped file are: ');
log.debug('Name: ' + gunzippedFile.name);
log.debug('File size: ' + gunzippedFile.size + 'b');
