Demonstrates how to iterate over the files and directories in a zip archive by index. Go

    success := false

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

    zip := chilkat.NewZip()

    success = zip.OpenZip("qa_data/zips/sample.zip")
    if success == false {

    i := 0
    for i < numEntries {
        zip.EntryAt(i,entry)
        //  Note: In the ZIP file format, it is not required for a ZIP file to contain explicit directory entries. 
        //  However, explicit directory entries can be included for convenience and compatibility with certain ZIP file processing tools and software.
        //  An explicit directory entry in a ZIP file is an entry that specifically represents a directory, rather than a file. 
        //  It usually has a directory name with a trailing slash (/) and zero-length content.
        if entry.IsDirectory() {
            fmt.Println(i, ": ", entry.FileName(), " (directory)")
        } else {
            fmt.Println(i, ": ", entry.FileName())
        }

        i = i + 1
    }

    //  Sample output:

    //  0: aaa/ (directory)
    //  1: aaa/pigs.json
    //  2: bbb/ (directory)
    //  3: bbb/base64Cert.txt
    //  4: bbb/sub1/ (directory)
    //  5: bbb/sub1/brasil_cert.pem
    //  6: bbb/sub2/ (directory)

    //  8: bbb/sub2/starfish.jpg
    //  9: hamlet.xml
