Unpack MHT to Files

See more MHT / HTML Email Examples

Demonstrates how to unpack a .mhtml to files. Unpacks the HTML and to a directory, and image files to a sub-directory located under the directory where the HTML file is unpacked. The image links in the HTML are updated to point to the image files. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local mht = chilkat.Mht.new()

-- This should be an absolute or relative path to the MHT file.
-- It is the MHT to be unpacked.
local mhtPath = "qa_data/mht/test.mht"

local unpackDir = "C:/AAWorkarea/mht_unpack"
local htmlFilename = "test.html"
local partsSubDir = "images"

-- Unpacking will create the HTML file C:/AAWorkarea/mht_unpack/test.html
-- The image files are unpacked to C:/AAWorkarea/mht_unpack/images
-- The unpackDir and partsSubDir are automatically created if needed.

local success = mht:unpack_mht(mhtPath, unpackDir, htmlFilename, partsSubDir)
if not success then
    print(mht.last_error_text)
    print("Failed.")
else
    print("Success.")
end
