Another Path-in-Zip Example

Another example about getting the correct paths within a .zip. 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 references to files:
let recurse = true;
let _ = zip.append_files("c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1\\*", recurse).is_ok();

// Assuming that the file c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif exists,
// the .zip will contain "dude.gif" without any path information.

// The component has no
// choice but to use "c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1" as the root.
// It's not possible for the component to know if you
// wanted subdir1\ or a\subdir1\ or temp\a\subdir1
// paths prefixed for each file added.

// To control the path within the zip, set the AppendFromDir
// directory and then use a relative path in AppendFiles.
// For example:
zip.set_append_from_dir("c:\\temp\\a");

let _ = zip.append_files("subdir1\\*", recurse).is_ok();

// This causes c:\temp\a\subdir1\dude.gif to be added as
// "subdir1\dude.gif" within the .zip.

// If you need the path within the .zip to be "a\subdir", then
// do this:
zip.set_append_from_dir("c:\\temp");
let _ = zip.append_files("a\\subdir1\\*", recurse).is_ok();

let _ = zip.write_zip_and_close().is_ok();
