LOCAL loZip
LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL lnRecurse

* This example requires 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')

* Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
lnSuccess = loZip.NewZip("qa_output/test.zip")

* Set a path prefix:
loZip.PathPrefix = "directory_name/"

* Add references to files:
lnRecurse = 1
lnSuccess = loZip.AppendFiles("c:/zipTest/directory_name/*",lnRecurse)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loZip
    CANCEL
ENDIF

lnSuccess = loZip.WriteZipAndClose()
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loZip
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "success."

RELEASE loZip
