Another example about getting the correct paths within a .zip. Objective-C

#import <CkoZip.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 references to files:
BOOL recurse = YES;
success = [zip AppendFiles: @"c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1\\*" recurse: recurse];

// Assuming that the file c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif exists,
// the .zip will contain "dude.gif" without any path information.

// The component has no
// choice but to use "c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1" as the root.
// It's not possible for the component to know if you
// wanted subdir1\ or a\subdir1\ or temp\a\subdir1
// paths prefixed for each file added.

// To control the path within the zip, set the AppendFromDir
// directory and then use a relative path in AppendFiles.
// For example:
zip.AppendFromDir = @"c:\\temp\\a";

success = [zip AppendFiles: @"subdir1\\*" recurse: recurse];

// This causes c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif to be added as
// "subdir1\dude.gif" within the .zip.

// If you need the path within the .zip to be "a\subdir", then
// do this:
zip.AppendFromDir = @"c:\\temp";
success = [zip AppendFiles: @"a\\subdir1\\*" recurse: recurse];

success = [zip WriteZipAndClose];
