Unzip a .zip Archive

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to open a .zip archive and unzip. The Unzip method extracts the files and directories from a .zip archive and recreates the directory tree rooted at the directory path passed to Unzip. Go

    success := false

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

    zip := chilkat.NewZip()

    success = zip.OpenZip("my_files.zip")
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(zip.LastErrorText())
        zip.DisposeZip()
        return
    }

    var unzipCount int

    // Returns the number of files and directories unzipped.
    // Unzips to /my_files, re-creating the directory tree
    // from the .zip.
    unzipCount = zip.Unzip("/my_files")
    if unzipCount < 0 {
        fmt.Println(zip.LastErrorText())
    } else {
        fmt.Println("Success!")
    }


    zip.DisposeZip()
