(Visual FoxPro) 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.

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loZip
LOCAL lnNumEntries
LOCAL loEntry
LOCAL i

lnSuccess = 0

lnSuccess = 0

* Open an existing ZIP archive.
loZip = CreateObject('Chilkat.Zip')

lnSuccess = loZip.OpenZip("example.zip")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loZip
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Get the total number of entries in the ZIP archive.
lnNumEntries = loZip.NumEntries

? "Number of ZIP entries = " + STR(lnNumEntries)

* Create a ZipEntry object that will be reused
* for each entry retrieved by EntryAt.
loEntry = CreateObject('Chilkat.ZipEntry')

* Iterate over all ZIP entries.
i = 0
DO WHILE i < lnNumEntries

    * Retrieve the entry at index i.
    lnSuccess = loZip.EntryAt(i,loEntry)
    IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
        ? loZip.LastErrorText
        RELEASE loZip
        RELEASE loEntry
        CANCEL
    ENDIF

    ? "Entry " + STR(i)
    ? "  FileName: " + loEntry.FileName
    ? "  Uncompressed Length: " + STR(loEntry.UncompressedLength)
    ? "  Compressed Length: " + STR(loEntry.CompressedLength)
    ? ""

    i = i + 1
ENDDO

* 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
