Verify a Zip's Password

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to verify the password for an encrypted or password-protected zip archive. 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()!

    // To verify a password for a Zip, the Zip must be opened:
    success = zip.open(zipPath: "myProtected.zip")
    if success != true {
        print("\(zip.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Set the password to be verified:
    zip.decryptPassword = "secret"

    var passwordOk: Bool
    passwordOk = zip.verifyPassword()
    if passwordOk == true {
        print("Password is correct.")
    }
    else {
        print("Password is incorrect.")
    }

    zip.close()
