Another Path-in-Zip Example

Another example about getting the correct paths within a .zip. 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();

# Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
$success = $zip->NewZip("myZip.zip");

# Add references to files:
$recurse = 1;
$success = $zip->AppendFiles("c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1\\*",$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->put_AppendFromDir("c:\\temp\\a");

$success = $zip->AppendFiles("subdir1\\*",$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->put_AppendFromDir("c:\\temp");
$success = $zip->AppendFiles("a\\subdir1\\*",$recurse);

$success = $zip->WriteZipAndClose();
