    <file>hamlet.zip</file>
    <file>japanese.xml</file>
    <file>New Text Document (2).txt</file>
    <file>New Text Document.txt</file>
    <file>nutrition.xml</file>
    <file>pigs.xml</file>
    <file>plants.xml</file>
    <dir name="subdir1">
        <file>box.ico</file>
        <file>Setup.exe</file>
        <dir name="a">
            <file>dude.gif</file>
            <file>HelloWorld123.txt</file>
        </dir>
    </dir>
