Get ZIP Directory Information as XML

See more Zip Examples

This example demonstrates how to use the GetDirectoryAsXML method to retrieve information about the contents of a ZIP archive as an XML document.

The returned XML describes the files currently contained in the ZIP object

Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

success = false

# Open an existing ZIP archive.
zip = Chilkat::CkZip.new()

success = zip.OpenZip("example.zip")
if (success == false)
    print zip.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Get the ZIP directory information as XML.
xml = zip.getDirectoryAsXML()

print xml + "\n";

# Suppose the ZIP contains:

# data/config/settings.json
# docs/readme.txt
# images/logo.png

# The XML contains one element for each ZIP entry.
# Example:
# 
# <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
# <zip_contents>
#     <dir name="data">
#         <dir name="config">
#             <file>settings.json</file>
#         </dir>
#     </dir>
#     <dir name="docs">
#         <file>readme.txt</file>
#     </dir>
#     <dir name="images">
#         <file>logo.png</file>
#     </dir>
# </zip_contents>

zip.CloseZip()

print "Done." + "\n";
