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

zip = chilkat2.Zip()

zipPath = "c:/temp/test.zip"

# Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
zip.NewZip(zipPath)

# Append a new and empty file to the zip object.
# This does not write the zip file.  It simply adds an entry
# that will get processed when the zip is written.
# entry1 is a CkZipEntry
entry1 = zip.AppendNew("empty.txt")

# Append another entry..
# entry2 is a CkZipEntry
entry2 = zip.AppendNew("abc/helloWorld.txt")

# Add some data to this entry..
entry2.AppendString("Hello World","utf-8")

# Write the zip, which contains 2 files:  empty.txt and helloWorld.txt
zip.FileName = zipPath
success = zip.WriteZipAndClose()
if (success == False):
    print(zip.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

print("Success.")
