List Files/Directories in Zip by Index

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to iterate over the files and directories in a zip archive by index. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

zip = Chilkat::CkZip.new()

success = zip.OpenZip("qa_data/zips/sample.zip")
if (success == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

numEntries = zip.get_NumEntries()

entry = Chilkat::CkZipEntry.new()

i = 0
while i < numEntries
    zip.EntryAt(i,entry)
    # Note: In the ZIP file format, it is not required for a ZIP file to contain explicit directory entries. 
    # However, explicit directory entries can be included for convenience and compatibility with certain ZIP file processing tools and software.
    # An explicit directory entry in a ZIP file is an entry that specifically represents a directory, rather than a file. 
    # It usually has a directory name with a trailing slash (/) and zero-length content.
    if (entry.get_IsDirectory())
        print i.to_s() + ": " + entry.fileName() + " (directory)" + "\n";
    else
        print i.to_s() + ": " + entry.fileName() + "\n";
    end

    i = i + 1
end

# Sample output:

# 0: aaa/ (directory)
# 1: aaa/pigs.json
# 2: bbb/ (directory)
# 3: bbb/base64Cert.txt
# 4: bbb/sub1/ (directory)
# 5: bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
# 6: bbb/sub2/ (directory)
# 7: bbb/sub2/penguins.gif
# 8: bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
# 9: hamlet.xml
# 10: hello.pdf
