Unzip a .zip Archive

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to open a .zip archive and unzip. The Unzip method extracts the files and directories from a .zip archive and recreates the directory tree rooted at the directory path passed to Unzip. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let zip = CkoZip()!

    success = zip.open(zipPath: "my_files.zip")
    if success != true {
        print("\(zip.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    var unzipCount: Int

    // Returns the number of files and directories unzipped.
    // Unzips to /my_files, re-creating the directory tree
    // from the .zip.
    unzipCount = zip.unzip(dirPath: "/my_files").intValue
    if unzipCount < 0 {
        print("\(zip.lastErrorText!)")
    }
    else {
        print("Success!")
    }
