Rust Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Modify Name of File Stored within Zip when Creating a .zip

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to create a zip where the filename within the .zip is different than the filename that was added from the filesystem. Rust

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

let zip = chilkat::Zip::new();

// Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
let _ = zip.new_zip("myZip.zip").is_ok();

// Add a reference to a file on disk to the zip object.
// (When appending files to a zip, the files are not actually
// read into memory.  References to the file(s) are added.
// When WriteZip is called, the referenced files are streamed in
// and compressed to the .zip.)
let save_extra_path = false;
if zip.add_file("/temp/a/hamlet.xml", save_extra_path).is_err() {
    println!("{}", zip.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// The zip object references a single file.
// Retrieve the entry object...
let entry = chilkat::ZipEntry::new();
let _ = zip.entry_at(0, &entry);

// Set the entry's filename to anything you want:
entry.set_file_name("somethingElse.xml");

// Note: Internally, the zip component retains the name of
// the file referenced.  The current setting of the zip entry's
// FileName property is stored in the .zip when writing.

// The zip written here will contain somethingElse.xml
if zip.write_zip_and_close().is_err() {
    println!("{}", zip.last_error_text());
} else {
    println!("Zip created!");
