Unzip Files in a Date Range

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to use the Zip.MinDate and Zip.MaxDate properties to unzip only those files with a last-modified date within a date range.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v10.0.0 or greater.

Rust

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

let zip = chilkat::Zip::new();

if zip.open_zip("qa_data/zips/sample.zip").is_err() {
    println!("{}", zip.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// The MinDate and MaxDate properties use the timestamp date/time string format.
// Here are some examples:
// YYYY-MM-DD (e.g., 2024-07-31)
// YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS�HH:MM (e.g., 2024-07-31T12:34:56+02:00)
// 2024-07-31T12:34:56Z (the "Z" denotes Zulu time, or UTC)

// Only unzip files having a last-modified date greater than 1-Jan-2017
zip.set_min_date("2017-01-01T00:00:00Z");

// Also, only unzip files having a last-modified date less than the end of 2020
zip.set_max_date("2020-12-31T23:59:59Z");

// You don't need to specify both MinDate and MaxDate.
// You can specify only one or the other if needed.

// The MinDate/MaxDate properties apply to all of the Chilkat methods for unzipping.

let num_unzipped = zip.unzip("c:/temp/unzipDir");
if num_unzipped < 0 {
    println!("{}", zip.last_error_text());
    return;
}

zip.close_zip();
