// 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.

// 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

// Unzip all files into the directory c:/temp/testUnzipDir

? "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
