Unzip Text File to String

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to open a .zip and extract the 1st file (assuming it's a text file) to a string variable. C++

#include <CkZip.h>
#include <CkZipEntry.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkZip zip;

    success = zip.OpenZip("qa_data/zips/EC16100.zip");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << zip.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Get the 1st file in the .zip
    CkZipEntry entry;
    success = zip.EntryAt(0,entry);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << zip.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    const char *fileContents = entry.unzipToString(0,"utf-8");
    std::cout << fileContents << "\r\n";
    }
