Unzip Text File to String

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to open a .zip and extract the 1st file (assuming it's a text file) to a string variable. 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: "qa_data/zips/EC16100.zip")
    if success == false {
        print("\(zip.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Get the 1st file in the .zip
    let entry = CkoZipEntry()!
    success = zip.entry(at: 0, entry: entry)
    if success == false {
        print("\(zip.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    var fileContents: String? = entry.unzip(toString: 0, srcCharset: "utf-8")
    print("\(fileContents!)")
