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

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Zip')
loZip = CreateObject('Chilkat.Zip')

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

* Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
loZip.NewZip(lcZipPath)

* 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.
loEntry1 = loZip.AppendNew("empty.txt")
RELEASE loEntry1

* Append another entry..
loEntry2 = loZip.AppendNew("abc/helloWorld.txt")

* Add some data to this entry..
loEntry2.AppendString("Hello World","utf-8")
RELEASE loEntry2

* Write the zip, which contains 2 files:  empty.txt and helloWorld.txt
loZip.FileName = lcZipPath
lnSuccess = loZip.WriteZipAndClose()
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loZip
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Success."

RELEASE loZip
