See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to unzip all files into a single directory, ignoring the internal directory structure of the files in the .zip.

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

lcOutDir = "c:/temp/testUnzipDir"

* Make sure our output directory exists.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.FileAccess')
loFac = CreateObject('Chilkat.FileAccess')
lnSuccess = loFac.DirEnsureExists(lcOutDir)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loFac.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFac
    CANCEL
ENDIF

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

* In this example, the xml_files.zip contains some files in the subdirectories "dir1" and also "dir2/dir3".

* a1.xml
* b1.xml
* c1.xml
* dir1/a2.xml
* dir1/c2.xml
* dir2/dir3/c3.xml

lnSuccess = loZip.OpenZip("qa_data/zips/xml_files.zip")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFac
    RELEASE loZip
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Unzip all files into the directory c:/temp/testUnzipDir
lnNumUnzipped = loZip.UnzipInto(lcOutDir)
IF (lnNumUnzipped < 0) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFac
    RELEASE loZip
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Num unzipped = " + STR(lnNumUnzipped)

* After unzipping via UnzipInto, we have this:

* c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a1.xml
* c:\temp\testUnzipDir\b1.xml
* c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c1.xml
* c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a2.xml
* c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c2.xml
* c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c3.xml

loZip.CloseZip()
