Demonstrates how to iterate over the files contained within a .zip and unzip specific files. Go

    success := false

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

    zip := chilkat.NewZip()

    success = zip.OpenZip("my_files.zip")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(zip.LastErrorText())
        zip.DisposeZip()
        return
    }

    unzipDir := "/temp/unzipDir"

    // Get the number of files and directories in the .zip
    n := zip.NumEntries()

    entry := chilkat.NewZipEntry()

    i := 0
    for i < n {

        zip.EntryAt(i,entry)
        if entry.IsDirectory() == false {
            // (the filename may include a path)
            fmt.Println(entry.FileName())

            // Your application may choose to unzip this entry
            // based on the filename.
            // If the entry should be unzipped, then call Extract(unzipDir)
            success = entry.Extract(unzipDir)
            if success == false {
                fmt.Println(entry.LastErrorText())
                zip.DisposeZip()
                entry.DisposeZipEntry()
                return
            }

        }

        i = i + 1
    }


    zip.DisposeZip()
    entry.DisposeZipEntry()
