See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to verify the password for an encrypted or password-protected zip archive. 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()

# To verify a password for a Zip, the Zip must be opened:
success = zip.OpenZip("myProtected.zip")
if (success != true)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Set the password to be verified:
zip.put_DecryptPassword("secret")

passwordOk = zip.VerifyPassword()
if (passwordOk == true)
    print "Password is correct." + "\n";
else
    print "Password is incorrect." + "\n";
end

zip.CloseZip()
