Example code to unzip Files Matching a Pattern (such as *.xml) AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

;  This example works with the .zip located at http://www.example-code.com/data/test.zip

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

;  First, let's download the .zip
$oHttp = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Http")
$bSuccess = $oHttp.Download("http://www.example-code.com/data/test.zip","qa_test/test.zip")

;  Show what's in the .zip by getting the directory as XML.

;  In this case, the contents of our .zip look like this:
;  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
;  <zip_contents>
;      <dir name="test">
;          <dir name="abc">
;              <dir name="123">
;                  <file>ecc_public.pem</file>
;                  <file>starfish.jpg</file>
;              </dir>
;              <file>comodo-certificates.pem</file>
;              <file>pigs.xml</file>
;          </dir>

;  If we wish to unzip only .xml files, use "*.xml" for the pattern\
;  Unzip to the "qa_output" directory relative to our current working directory.
;  (You may unzip to an absolute path by passing an absolute path, such as "/someDir" or
;  "C:/someDir", etc.)
;  This will unzip only the .xml files.  The relative directory structure within
;  the .zip will be created in the local filesystem under the unzip directory
;  path passed in the first argument, which in this case is "qa_output".
