Another example about getting the correct paths within a .zip. Unicode C++

#include <CkZipW.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkZipW zip;

    //  Intialize the zip object by calling NewZip.
    success = zip.NewZip(L"myZip.zip");

    //  Add references to files:
    bool recurse = true;
    success = zip.AppendFiles(L"c:\\temp\\a\\subdir1\\*",recurse);

    //  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.put_AppendFromDir(L"c:\\temp\\a");

    success = zip.AppendFiles(L"subdir1\\*",recurse);

    //  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.put_AppendFromDir(L"c:\\temp");
    success = zip.AppendFiles(L"a\\subdir1\\*",recurse);

    success = zip.WriteZipAndClose();
    }
