Unzip all Files to a Single Directory (Ignoring Subdirectories in Zip)

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. Go

    success := false

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

    outDir := "c:/temp/testUnzipDir"

    // Make sure our output directory exists.
    fac := chilkat.NewFileAccess()
    success = fac.DirEnsureExists(outDir)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(fac.LastErrorText())
        fac.DisposeFileAccess()
        return
    }

    zip := chilkat.NewZip()

    // 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

    success = zip.OpenZip("qa_data/zips/xml_files.zip")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(zip.LastErrorText())
        fac.DisposeFileAccess()
        zip.DisposeZip()
        return
    }

    // Unzip all files into the directory c:/temp/testUnzipDir
    numUnzipped := zip.UnzipInto(outDir)
    if numUnzipped < 0 {
        fmt.Println(zip.LastErrorText())
        fac.DisposeFileAccess()
        zip.DisposeZip()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println("Num unzipped = ", numUnzipped)

    // 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

    zip.CloseZip()

    fmt.Println("Success.")

    fac.DisposeFileAccess()
    zip.DisposeZip()
