Provides instructions for replacing deprecated AppendString method calls with AddString.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

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.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() + "\n";
    exit
end

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# 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() + "\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)
