Add Binary Data to a ZIP Using AddBd

See more Zip Examples

This example demonstrates how to use the AddBd method to add binary data from a BinData object as a file entry within a ZIP archive.

The data is created entirely in memory, added to the ZIP as data/binary.dat, and then written to disk.

Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

    // Create a new ZIP archive.
    let zip = CkoZip()!

    success = zip.newZip(zipPath: "inMemoryData.zip")
    if success == false {
        print("\(zip.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Create a BinData object containing binary content.
    let bd = CkoBinData()!

    // Append some bytes as hexadecimal.
    // The decoded bytes will become the contents of the ZIP entry.
    success = bd.appendEncoded(encData: "000102030405060708090A0B0C0D0E0F", encoding: "hex")
    if success == false {
        print("\(bd.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Add the BinData contents as a file entry within the ZIP.
    // The file will be stored as "data/binary.dat" inside the ZIP archive.
    success = zip.addBd(pathInZip: "data/binary.dat", bd: bd)
    if success == false {
        print("\(zip.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Write the ZIP archive to disk and close it.
    success = zip.writeAndClose()
    if success == false {
        print("\(zip.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("ZIP archive created successfully.")
