Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendDataEncoded method calls with AddEncoded.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

import sys
import chilkat

zip = chilkat.CkZip()

# ...
# ...
pathInZip = "example.dat"
encoding = "base64"
encData = "... BASE64 DATA ..."

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The AppendDataEncoded method is deprecated:

# entryObj is a CkZipEntry
entryObj = zip.AppendDataEncoded(pathInZip,encoding,encData)
if (zip.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(zip.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using AddEncoded.

# Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
success = zip.AddEncoded(pathInZip,encoding,encData)
if (success == False):
    print(zip.lastErrorText())
    sys.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 = chilkat.CkZipEntry()
index = zip.get_NumEntries() - 1
zip.EntryAt(index,ze)
