See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates the Zip AppendNew function. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$zip = chilkat::CkZip->new();

$zipPath = "c:/temp/qa_output/test.zip";

#  Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
$zip->NewZip($zipPath);

#  Append a new and empty file to the zip object.
#  This does not write the zip file.  It simply adds an entry
#  that will get processed when the zip is written.
$zip->AddEmpty(0,"empty.txt");

#  Append another entry..
$pathInZip = "abc/helloWorld.txt";
$zip->AddEmpty(0,$pathInZip);

#  Add some data to this entry..
$entry = chilkat::CkZipEntry->new();
$zip->EntryOf($pathInZip,$entry);
$entry->AppendString("Hello World","utf-8");

#  Write the zip, which contains 2 files:  empty.txt and helloWorld.txt
$zip->put_FileName($zipPath);
$success = $zip->WriteZipAndClose();
if ($success == 0) {
    print $zip->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

print "Success." . "\r\n";
