$oZip = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Zip")

Local $bSuccess = $oZip.OpenZip("qa_data/zips/sample.zip")
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then

EndIf

; Unzip to c:/temp/testDir
; If c:/temp/testDir does not yet exist, it will be auto-created.
Local $iNumFilesUnzipped = $oZip.Unzip("c:/temp/testDir")
If ($iNumFilesUnzipped < 0) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oZip.LastErrorText & @CRLF)

; If, for example, the zip contained these files:

; aaa/pigs.json
; bbb/base64Cert.txt
; bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
; bbb/sub2/penguins.gif
; bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
; hamlet.xml
; hello.pdf

; then after unzipping, the following files will be created:

; c:/temp/testDir/aaa/pigs.json
; c:/temp/testDir/bbb/base64Cert.txt
; c:/temp/testDir/bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
; c:/temp/testDir/bbb/sub2/penguins.gif
; c:/temp/testDir/bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
; c:/temp/testDir/hamlet.xml
; c:/temp/testDir/hello.pdf
