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

loZip = CreateObject('Chilkat.Zip')

lcZipPath = "c:/temp/qa_output/test.zip"

* Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
loZip.NewZip(lcZipPath)

* Append a new and empty file to the zip object.
* This does not write the zip file.  It simply adds an entry
* that will get processed when the zip is written.
loZip.AddEmpty(0,"empty.txt")

* Append another entry..
lcPathInZip = "abc/helloWorld.txt"
loZip.AddEmpty(0,lcPathInZip)

* Add some data to this entry..
loEntry = CreateObject('Chilkat.ZipEntry')
loZip.EntryOf(lcPathInZip,loEntry)
loEntry.AppendString("Hello World","utf-8")

* Write the zip, which contains 2 files:  empty.txt and helloWorld.txt
