Modify Name of File Stored within Zip when Creating a .zip

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to create a zip where the filename within the .zip is different than the filename that was added from the filesystem. Objective-C

#import <CkoZip.h>
#import <CkoZipEntry.h>

BOOL success = NO;

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

CkoZip *zip = [[CkoZip alloc] init];

// Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
success = [zip NewZip: @"myZip.zip"];

// Add a reference to a file on disk to the zip object.
// (When appending files to a zip, the files are not actually
// read into memory.  References to the file(s) are added.
// When WriteZip is called, the referenced files are streamed in
// and compressed to the .zip.)
BOOL saveExtraPath = NO;
success = [zip AddFile: @"/temp/a/hamlet.xml" saveExtraPath: saveExtraPath];
if (success == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",zip.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The zip object references a single file.
// Retrieve the entry object...
CkoZipEntry *entry = [[CkoZipEntry alloc] init];
[zip EntryAt: [NSNumber numberWithInt: 0] entry: entry];

// Set the entry's filename to anything you want:
entry.FileName = @"somethingElse.xml";

// Note: Internally, the zip component retains the name of
// the file referenced.  The current setting of the zip entry's
// FileName property is stored in the .zip when writing.

// The zip written here will contain somethingElse.xml
success = [zip WriteZipAndClose];
