See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to verify the password for an encrypted or password-protected zip archive. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

-- This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local zip = chilkat.Zip.new()

-- To verify a password for a Zip, the Zip must be opened:
local success = zip:open_zip("myProtected.zip")
if not success then
    print(zip.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Set the password to be verified:
zip.decrypt_password = "secret"

local passwordOk = zip:verify_password()
if passwordOk then
    print("Password is correct.")
else
    print("Password is incorrect.")
end
