import sys

zip = chilkat.CkZip()

# ...

pattern = "*.txt"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The FirstMatchingEntry method is deprecated:

# entryObj is a CkZipEntry
entryObj = zip.FirstMatchingEntry(pattern)
if (zip.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(zip.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using EntryMatching.
# Your application creates a new, empty ZipEntry object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.
