Unzip a .zip Archive

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to open a .zip archive and unzip. The Unzip method extracts the files and directories from a .zip archive and recreates the directory tree rooted at the directory path passed to Unzip. Dart

import 'package:chilkat/chilkat.dart';

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

  final zip = CkZip();

  try {
    zip.openZip('my_files.zip');
  } on ChilkatException catch (e) {
    print(e.lastErrorText);
    return;
  }

  // Returns the number of files and directories unzipped.
  // Unzips to /my_files, re-creating the directory tree
  // from the .zip.
  final unzipCount = zip.unzip('/my_files');
  if (unzipCount < 0) {
    print(zip.lastErrorText);
  } else {
    print('Success!');
  }
