(C) Iterate Over ZIP Entries Using EntryAt

This example demonstrates how to use the EntryAt method to iterate over all entries contained within a ZIP archive.

The EntryAt method retrieves a ZipEntry object for a given zero-based index.

This is useful for:

• Enumerating all entries in a ZIP archive
• Inspecting filenames, sizes, and timestamps
• Searching or filtering ZIP contents

Suppose the ZIP archive contains:

docs/readme.txt
images/logo.png
data/config.json

The example loops through all ZIP entries and prints information about each entry.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

    success = FALSE;

    success = FALSE;

    // Open an existing ZIP archive.
    zip = CkZip_Create();

    success = CkZip_OpenZip(zip,"example.zip");
    if (success == FALSE) {
        printf("%s\n",CkZip_lastErrorText(zip));
        CkZip_Dispose(zip);
        return;
    }

    // Get the total number of entries in the ZIP archive.
    numEntries = CkZip_getNumEntries(zip);

    printf("Number of ZIP entries = %d\n",numEntries);

    // Create a ZipEntry object that will be reused
    // for each entry retrieved by EntryAt.
    entry = CkZipEntry_Create();

    // Iterate over all ZIP entries.
    i = 0;
    while (i < numEntries) {

        // Retrieve the entry at index i.
        success = CkZip_EntryAt(zip,i,entry);
        if (success == FALSE) {
            printf("%s\n",CkZip_lastErrorText(zip));
            CkZip_Dispose(zip);
            CkZipEntry_Dispose(entry);
            return;
        }

        printf("Entry %d\n",i);
        printf("  FileName: %s\n",CkZipEntry_fileName(entry));
        printf("  Uncompressed Length: %u\n",CkZipEntry_getUncompressedLength(entry));
        printf("  Compressed Length: %u\n",CkZipEntry_getCompressedLength(entry));
        printf("\n");

        i = i + 1;
    }

    // Sample output:
    // 
    // Entry 0
    //   FileName: docs/readme.txt
    //   Uncompressed Length: 1204
    //   Compressed Length: 512
    // 
    // Entry 1
    //   FileName: images/logo.png
    //   Uncompressed Length: 84211
    //   Compressed Length: 84102
    //

    printf("Done.\n");
