Demonstrates the Zip AppendNew function. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

# This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

zip = Chilkat::CkZip.new()

zipPath = "c:/temp/qa_output/test.zip"

# Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
zip.NewZip(zipPath)

# Append a new and empty file to the zip object.
# This does not write the zip file.  It simply adds an entry
# that will get processed when the zip is written.
zip.AddEmpty(false,"empty.txt")

# Append another entry..
pathInZip = "abc/helloWorld.txt"
zip.AddEmpty(false,pathInZip)

# Add some data to this entry..
entry = Chilkat::CkZipEntry.new()
zip.EntryOf(pathInZip,entry)
entry.AppendString("Hello World","utf-8")

# Write the zip, which contains 2 files:  empty.txt and helloWorld.txt
zip.put_FileName(zipPath)
success = zip.WriteZipAndClose()
if (success == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
