Another example about getting the correct paths within a .zip. B4X

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim zip As ChilkatZip
zip.Initialize("zip")

'  Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
success = zip.NewZip("myZip.zip")

'  Add references to files:
Dim recurse As Boolean = True
success = zip.AppendFiles("c:\temp\a\subdir1\*", recurse)

'  Assuming that the file c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif exists,
'  the .zip will contain "dude.gif" without any path information.

'  The component has no
'  choice but to use "c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1" as the root.
'  It's not possible for the component to know if you
'  wanted subdir1\ or a\subdir1\ or temp\a\subdir1
'  paths prefixed for each file added.

'  To control the path within the zip, set the AppendFromDir
'  directory and then use a relative path in AppendFiles.
'  For example:
zip.AppendFromDir = "c:\temp\a"

success = zip.AppendFiles("subdir1\*", recurse)

'  This causes c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif to be added as
'  "subdir1\dude.gif" within the .zip.

'  If you need the path within the .zip to be "a\subdir", then
'  do this:
zip.AppendFromDir = "c:\temp"
success = zip.AppendFiles("a\subdir1\*", recurse)

success = zip.WriteZipAndClose
