See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to open a .zip archive and unzip. The Unzip method extracts the files and directories from a .zip archive and recreates the directory tree rooted at the directory path passed to Unzip. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

zip = Chilkat::CkZip.new()

success = zip.OpenZip("my_files.zip")
if (success != true)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Returns the number of files and directories unzipped.
# Unzips to /my_files, re-creating the directory tree
# from the .zip.
unzipCount = zip.Unzip("/my_files")
if (unzipCount < 0)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
else
    print "Success!" + "\n";
