(SQL Server) Iterate Through Matching ZIP Entries Using EntryMatching and ZipEntry.GetNextMatch

See more Zip Examples

This example demonstrates how to iterate through ZIP entries matching a wildcard pattern using:

• Zip.EntryMatching to obtain the first matching entry
• ZipEntry.GetNextMatch to advance to subsequent matching entries

The wildcard character * matches zero or more characters. Matching is performed against the full stored ZIP entry path.

The example searches for all entries beneath the docs/ directory.

Suppose the ZIP archive contains:

docs/
docs/readme.txt
docs/manual.pdf
docs/sub1/notes.txt
images/logo.png
hello.txt

The wildcard pattern:

docs/*

Matches:

docs/
docs/readme.txt
docs/manual.pdf
docs/sub1/notes.txt

Note that ZIP archives may optionally contain separate directory entries. Therefore, the first matching entry may be the directory entry docs/ rather than a file entry.
