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

Dim outDir As String
outDir = "c:/temp/testUnzipDir"

// Make sure our output directory exists.
Dim fac As New Chilkat.FileAccess
Dim success As Boolean
success = fac.DirEnsureExists(outDir)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(fac.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Dim zip As New Chilkat.Zip

// In this example, the xml_files.zip contains some files in the subdirectories "dir1" and also "dir2/dir3".

// a1.xml
// b1.xml
// c1.xml
// dir1/a2.xml
// dir1/c2.xml
// dir2/dir3/c3.xml

success = zip.OpenZip("qa_data/zips/xml_files.zip")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(zip.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Unzip all files into the directory c:/temp/testUnzipDir
Dim numUnzipped As Int32
numUnzipped = zip.UnzipInto(outDir)
If (numUnzipped < 0) Then
    System.DebugLog(zip.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog("Num unzipped = " + Str(numUnzipped))

// After unzipping via UnzipInto, we have this:

// c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a1.xml
// c:\temp\testUnzipDir\b1.xml
// c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c1.xml
// c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a2.xml
// c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c2.xml
// c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c3.xml
