Unzip One File to a Stream

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to unzip a particular file contained within a .zip archive to a Chilkat stream. Tcl

load ./chilkat.dll

set success 0

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

set zip [new_CkZip]

# First open a .zip.
set success [CkZip_OpenZip $zip "qa_data/hamlet.zip"]
if {$success == 0} then {
    puts [CkZip_lastErrorText $zip]
    delete_CkZip $zip
    exit
}

# Find the entry to be unzipped to a stream..
set entry [new_CkZipEntry]

set success [CkZip_EntryMatching $zip "*hamlet.xml" $entry]
if {$success == 0} then {
    puts [CkZip_lastErrorText $zip]
    delete_CkZip $zip
    delete_CkZipEntry $entry
    exit
}

# There are three ways we can unzip (inflate) to a stream.
# 
# 1) Set a sink file on the stream object and call UnzipToStream synchronously.
#    This unzips to the stream's sink (which is to simply unzip to a file in the filesystem).
# 
# 2) Create a stream object and call UnzipToStreamAsync.  This starts the unzip in a background
#    thread (after Task.Run is called).  Your application can then read the unzipped (inflated) file
#    directly from the stream.
# 
# 3) (not shown in this example) Unzip to a stream object that is the source of something else.
#    

# ----------------------------------------------------------------
# Case 1: Unzip to a file by setting the sink of streamA to a file.
set streamA [new_CkStream]

    delete_CkZipEntry $entry
    delete_CkStream $streamA
    exit
}

# Close the stream to close the output file.
set success [CkStream_WriteClose $streamA]

# ----------------------------------------------------------------
# Case 2a: Uzip to a stream asynchronously. 
set streamB [new_CkStream]

# unzipTask is a CkTask
set unzipTask [CkZipEntry_UnzipToStreamAsync $entry $streamB]
if {[CkZipEntry_get_LastMethodSuccess $entry] != 1} then {
    puts [CkZipEntry_lastErrorText $entry]
    delete_CkZip $zip
    delete_CkZipEntry $entry
    delete_CkStream $streamA
    delete_CkStream $streamB
    exit

# Start the background unzip thread.

# Read the stream.  (this is reading the unzipped file data)
set sb [new_CkStringBuilder]

    CkStream_ReadSb $streamB $sb
}
