See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to open a .zip and extract the 1st file (assuming it's a text file) to a string variable. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

zip = Chilkat::CkZip.new()

success = zip.OpenZip("qa_data/zips/EC16100.zip")
if (success == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Get the 1st file in the .zip
entry = Chilkat::CkZipEntry.new()
success = zip.EntryAt(0,entry)
if (success == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

fileContents = entry.unzipToString(0,"utf-8")
print fileContents + "\n";
