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

gzip = Chilkat::CkGzip.new()

# This example will load a file into the fileData object.
# Your application might load fileData from other sources..
fileData = Chilkat::CkBinData.new()
success = fileData.LoadFile("qa_data/xml/hamlet.xml")
if (success != true)
    print "Failed to load file." + "\n";
    exit
end

# In-place compress the contents of fileData
success = gzip.CompressBd(fileData)
if (success != true)
    print gzip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Get the base64 encoded compressed data (in a single line).
strBase64 = fileData.getEncoded("base64")
print strBase64 + "\n";
print "--------" + "\n";

# To get the base64 in multiple lines, as it might appear in MIME,
# use "base64-mime".
strBase64MultiLine = fileData.getEncoded("base64-mime")
print strBase64MultiLine + "\n";
