CkPython Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Iterate Over ZIP Entries Using EntryAt

This example demonstrates how to use the EntryAt method to iterate over all entries contained within a ZIP archive.

The EntryAt method retrieves a ZipEntry object for a given zero-based index.

This is useful for:

• Enumerating all entries in a ZIP archive
• Inspecting filenames, sizes, and timestamps
• Searching or filtering ZIP contents

Suppose the ZIP archive contains:

docs/readme.txt
images/logo.png
data/config.json

The example loops through all ZIP entries and prints information about each entry.

CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

#  Open an existing ZIP archive.
zip = chilkat.CkZip()

success = zip.OpenZip("example.zip")
if (success == False):
    print(zip.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

#  Get the total number of entries in the ZIP archive.
numEntries = zip.get_NumEntries()

print("Number of ZIP entries = " + str(numEntries))

#  Create a ZipEntry object that will be reused
#  for each entry retrieved by EntryAt.
entry = chilkat.CkZipEntry()

#  Iterate over all ZIP entries.
i = 0
while i < numEntries :

    #  Retrieve the entry at index i.
    success = zip.EntryAt(i,entry)
    if (success == False):
        print(zip.lastErrorText())
        sys.exit()

    print("Entry " + str(i))
    print("  FileName: " + entry.fileName())
    print("  Uncompressed Length: " + str(entry.get_UncompressedLength()))
    print("  Compressed Length: " + str(entry.get_CompressedLength()))
    print("")

    i = i + 1

#  Sample output:
#  
#  Entry 0
#    FileName: docs/readme.txt
#    Uncompressed Length: 1204
#    Compressed Length: 512
#  
#  Entry 1
#    FileName: images/logo.png
#    Uncompressed Length: 84211
#    Compressed Length: 84102
#  

zip.CloseZip()

print("Done.")
