See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to create a .zip from in-memory byte data and strings, and to write the .zip to an in-memory image. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$zip = chilkat::CkZip->new();

$success = $zip->NewZip("test.zip");

    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

#  Add the bytes 0x00 0x01 0x02 0x03 ... 0x0F as a file in the .zip
$bd = chilkat::CkBinData->new();
$bd->AppendEncoded("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex");

#  Add the string "Hello World!" to the .zip
$zip->AddString("helloWorld.txt","Hello World!","utf-8");

#  We could save these files to a file, and it is a valid .zip

if ($success == 0) {
    print $fac->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
