Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

$success = $false

$zip = New-Object Chilkat.Zip

# ...
# ...
$pathInZip = "example.txt"
$textData = "This is a test"
$charset = "utf-8"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The AppendString method is deprecated:

$entryObj = $zip.AppendString2($pathInZip,$textData,$charset)
if ($zip.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($zip.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using AddString.

# Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
$success = $zip.AddString($pathInZip,$textData,$charset)
if ($success -eq $false) {
    $($zip.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Do the following if you need the zip entry object for what was just appended.
# The newly appended entry is the last one.
$ze = New-Object Chilkat.ZipEntry
$index = $zip.NumEntries - 1
$zip.EntryAt($index,$ze)
