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. Lianja

llSuccess = .F.

// 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.
loFac = createobject("CkFileAccess")
llSuccess = loFac.DirEnsureExists(lcOutDir)

    ? loFac.LastErrorText
    release loFac
    return

// 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

llSuccess = loZip.OpenZip("qa_data/zips/xml_files.zip")

    ? loZip.LastErrorText

// Unzip all files into the directory c:/temp/testUnzipDir
lnNumUnzipped = loZip.UnzipInto(lcOutDir)

    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    release loFac

? "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
