Unzip all Files to a Single Directory (Ignoring Subdirectories in Zip)

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to unzip all files into a single directory, ignoring the internal directory structure of the files in the .zip. Chilkat2 Perl

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

my $outDir = 'c:/temp/testUnzipDir';

# Make sure our output directory exists.
my $fac = Chilkat2::FileAccess->new;
my $success = $fac->DirEnsureExists($outDir);
if (!$success) {
    print $fac->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

my $zip = Chilkat2::Zip->new;

# In this example, the xml_files.zip contains some files in the subdirectories "dir1" and also "dir2/dir3".

# a1.xml
# b1.xml
# c1.xml
# dir1/a2.xml
# dir1/c2.xml
# dir2/dir3/c3.xml

$success = $zip->OpenZip('qa_data/zips/xml_files.zip');
if (!$success) {
    print $zip->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

# Unzip all files into the directory c:/temp/testUnzipDir
my $numUnzipped = $zip->UnzipInto($outDir);
if ($numUnzipped < 0) {
    print $zip->LastErrorText, "\n";
    exit;
}

print 'Num unzipped = ', $numUnzipped, "\n";

# After unzipping via UnzipInto, we have this:

# c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a1.xml
# c:\temp\testUnzipDir\b1.xml
# c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c1.xml
# c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a2.xml
