the same problem happens when using the cli from examples - extracting entire archive works fine but extracting single file just writes empty file

Do you have an archive that we can use as a sample to reproduce the issue?

https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/68485 you can download it without creating an account I think

Is it possible for you to create a small test case with that or put the file somewhere where I can download and test it directly?

I think it's copyrighted... but the test case is

cargo run --example uncompress_tool -- uncompress-archive-file Capital\ Wasteland\ Rock-It\ Launcher\ 1\ -\ Integrated-68485-1-1-1675554438.rar ./foo "Zanthir_RockItLauncher - Texture.BA2"

I've tried reproducing it when I recreate a fresh archive (with 7z) and insert that same file under the same path it does not happen anymore... 7z handles the archive well though

same error for a zip archive:

cargo run --example uncompress_tool -- uncompress-archive-file ./Creative\ Differences\ 3.1.2-13437-3-1-2-1716759989.zip ./foo "[CP] Rodney O'Brien/Assets/Items/Hats/PinkSummerHat.png"

https://www.nexusmods.com/stardewvalley/mods/13437

bsdtar -xvf ../Creative\ Differences\ 3.1.2-13437-3-1-2-1716759989.zip "\[CP\] Rodney O'Brien/Assets/Items/Hats/PinkSummerHat.png"

this works (not sure why I have to escape the '[' bracket, without it it fails)

other files in that archive work fine

cargo run --example uncompress_tool -- uncompress-archive-file ./dupa/Creative\ Differences\ 3.1.2-13437-3-1-2-1716759989.zip ./foo "[CP] Rodney O'Brien/Assets/Items/Hats/EggHat.png"

could it be related to this?
