CkPython

Transition from Zip.AppendString2 to Zip.AddString

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendString2 method calls with AddString. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

zip = chilkat.CkZip()

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

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

# entryObj is a CkZipEntry
entryObj = zip.AppendString2(pathInZip,textData,charset)
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,charset)
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)
