Iterate over Matching Filenames

See more Zip Examples

Iterates over files within a .zip that match a pattern. In this case, the pattern is "*.pem". This example will open a .zip containing files of type .txt, .cer, .pem, and possibly others, and will iterate over only the .pem files. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

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

zip = chilkat.CkZip()

# Open a .zip containing PEM files, among other things..
success = zip.OpenZip("qa_data/certs/thawte-roots.zip")
if (success == False):
    print(zip.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

entry = chilkat.CkZipEntry()

pattern = "*.pem"

bHasMoreMatches = zip.EntryMatching(pattern,entry)
while bHasMoreMatches == True :

    print("Entry: " + entry.fileName())

    # Get the uncommpressed contents of the entry:
    pemStr = entry.unzipToString(0,"utf-8")
    print(pemStr)

    bHasMoreMatches = entry.GetNextMatch(pattern)
