Another example about getting the correct paths within a .zip. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loZip
LOCAL lnRecurse

lnSuccess = 0

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

loZip = CreateObject('Chilkat.Zip')

*  Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
lnSuccess = loZip.NewZip("myZip.zip")

*  Add references to files:
lnRecurse = 1
lnSuccess = loZip.AppendFiles("c:\temp\a\subdir1\*",lnRecurse)

*  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:
loZip.AppendFromDir = "c:\temp\a"

lnSuccess = loZip.AppendFiles("subdir1\*",lnRecurse)

*  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:
loZip.AppendFromDir = "c:\temp"
lnSuccess = loZip.AppendFiles("a\subdir1\*",lnRecurse)

lnSuccess = loZip.WriteZipAndClose()
