Another example about getting the correct paths within a .zip. PowerBuilder

integer li_rc
long li_Success
oleobject loo_Zip
long li_Recurse

li_Success = 0

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

loo_Zip = create oleobject
li_rc = loo_Zip.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Zip")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Zip
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

//  Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
li_Success = loo_Zip.NewZip("myZip.zip")

//  Add references to files:
li_Recurse = 1
li_Success = loo_Zip.AppendFiles("c:\~temp\a\subdir1\*",li_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:
loo_Zip.AppendFromDir = "c:\~temp\a"

li_Success = loo_Zip.AppendFiles("subdir1\*",li_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:
loo_Zip.AppendFromDir = "c:\~temp"
li_Success = loo_Zip.AppendFiles("a\subdir1\*",li_Recurse)

li_Success = loo_Zip.WriteZipAndClose()
