Demonstrates how to iterate over the files and directories in a zip archive by index. JavaScript

var success = false;

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

var zip = new CkZip();

success = zip.OpenZip("qa_data/zips/sample.zip");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var numEntries = zip.NumEntries;

var entry = new CkZipEntry();

var i = 0;
while (i < numEntries) {
    zip.EntryAt(i,entry);
    //  Note: In the ZIP file format, it is not required for a ZIP file to contain explicit directory entries. 
    //  However, explicit directory entries can be included for convenience and compatibility with certain ZIP file processing tools and software.
    //  An explicit directory entry in a ZIP file is an entry that specifically represents a directory, rather than a file. 
    //  It usually has a directory name with a trailing slash (/) and zero-length content.
    if (entry.IsDirectory) {
        console.log(i + ": " + entry.FileName + " (directory)");
    }
    else {
        console.log(i + ": " + entry.FileName);
    }

    i = i+1;
}

//  Sample output:

//  0: aaa/ (directory)
//  1: aaa/pigs.json
//  2: bbb/ (directory)
//  3: bbb/base64Cert.txt
//  4: bbb/sub1/ (directory)
//  5: bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
//  6: bbb/sub2/ (directory)
//  7: bbb/sub2/penguins.gif
//  8: bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
//  9: hamlet.xml
//  10: hello.pdf
