zip = Chilkat::CkZip.new()

#  Set the password required for decrypting.
zip.put_DecryptPassword("myPassword")

success = zip.OpenZip("encrypted.zip")
if (success == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  Locate the file within the Zip to be unzipped into a string variable:
entry = Chilkat::CkZipEntry.new()
success = zip.EntryMatching("*.csv",entry)
if (success == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  lineEndingBehavior:
#  0 = leave unchanged.
#  1 = convert all to bare LF's

lineEndingBehavior = 0
srcCharset = "utf-8"

strCsv = entry.unzipToString(lineEndingBehavior,srcCharset)
print strCsv + "\n";
