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

outDir = "c:/temp/testUnzipDir"

# Make sure our output directory exists.
fac = Chilkat::CkFileAccess.new()
success = fac.DirEnsureExists(outDir)
if (success == false)
    print fac.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

zip = Chilkat::CkZip.new()

# In this example, the xml_files.zip contains some files in the subdirectories "dir1" and also "dir2/dir3".

# a1.xml
# b1.xml
# c1.xml
# dir1/a2.xml
# dir1/c2.xml
# dir2/dir3/c3.xml

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

# Unzip all files into the directory c:/temp/testUnzipDir
numUnzipped = zip.UnzipInto(outDir)
if (numUnzipped < 0)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

print "Num unzipped = " + numUnzipped.to_s() + "\n";

# After unzipping via UnzipInto, we have this:

# c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a1.xml
# c:\temp\testUnzipDir\b1.xml
# c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c1.xml
# c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a2.xml
# c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c2.xml
# c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c3.xml
