(Ruby) Transition from Zip.FirstMatchingEntry to Zip.EntryMatching

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated FirstMatchingEntry method calls with EntryMatching.

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()

# ...
# ...
pattern = "*.txt"

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

# entryObj is a CkZipEntry
entryObj = zip.FirstMatchingEntry(pattern)
if (zip.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# ...
# ...

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

ze = Chilkat::CkZipEntry.new()
success = zip.EntryMatching(pattern,ze)
if (success == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
