Chilkat Ruby Downloads install from rubygems.org gem install chilkat or download... Ruby Library for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

require 'chilkat'

zip = Chilkat::CkZip.new()

# ...
# ...

pathInZip = "example.dat"

bd = Chilkat::CkBinData.new()
bd.LoadFile("c:/someDir/example.dat")

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The AppendBd method is deprecated:
# AppendBd returns the zip entry object, which is usually not needed.

# entryObj is a CkZipEntry
entryObj = zip.AppendBd(pathInZip,bd)
if (zip.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using AddBd.

# Instead of returning the zip entry object, we just return success/failure.
success = zip.AddBd(pathInZip,bd)
if (success == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# 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.new()
index = zip.get_NumEntries() - 1
zip.EntryAt(index,ze)
