Some of this I can do already, but I'm not sure how to combine the flow.
I want to be able to update quite a large reference database in postgres from
downloaded files and import into postgres.
I can do this already manually ie, download, unzip, run a script file in the
terminal, delete existing tables, import, run functions in postgres via
terminal script to modify the data etc.
In gambas I can:
1) design form (wizard) and start with file window to locate and select file
2) Next step would be to take the file and unzip say using:
unzip -P "password" file.zip
I guess I would use the shell command, but can't understand the docs on how to
say see the output in a control within my gambas program.
3)Next step using psql etc I should be able to do if someone could help me
with the syntax/directions for step 2).
Thanks in anticipation
Richard
