CkPython Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Transition from Zip.AppendString to Zip.AddString

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendString method calls with AddString. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

zip = chilkat.CkZip()

#  ...
#  ...
pathInZip = "example.txt"
textData = "This is a test"

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

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

#  ...
#  ...

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

#  Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
success = zip.AddString(pathInZip,textData,"utf-8")
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)
