(Lianja) 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.

llSuccess = .F.

llSuccess = .F.

// Open an existing ZIP archive.
loZip = createobject("CkZip")

llSuccess = loZip.OpenZip("example.zip")
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    release loZip
    return
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("CkZipEntry")

// Iterate over all ZIP entries.
i = 0
do while i < lnNumEntries

    // Retrieve the entry at index i.
    llSuccess = loZip.EntryAt(i,loEntry)
    if (llSuccess = .F.) then
        ? loZip.LastErrorText
        release loZip
        release loEntry
        return
    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

? "Done."
