Add Binary Data to a ZIP Using AddBd

See more Zip Examples

This example demonstrates how to use the AddBd method to add binary data from a BinData object as a file entry within a ZIP archive.

The data is created entirely in memory, added to the ZIP as data/binary.dat, and then written to disk.

C++

#include <CkZip.h>
#include <CkBinData.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

    //  Create a new ZIP archive.
    CkZip zip;

    success = zip.NewZip("inMemoryData.zip");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << zip.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  Create a BinData object containing binary content.
    CkBinData bd;

    //  Append some bytes as hexadecimal.
    //  The decoded bytes will become the contents of the ZIP entry.
    success = bd.AppendEncoded("000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F","hex");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << bd.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  Add the BinData contents as a file entry within the ZIP.
    //  The file will be stored as "data/binary.dat" inside the ZIP archive.
    success = zip.AddBd("data/binary.dat",bd);
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << zip.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    //  Write the ZIP archive to disk and close it.
    success = zip.WriteZipAndClose();
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << zip.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << "ZIP archive created successfully." << "\r\n";
    }
