See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to append text data as a file within a zip archive. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let zip = CkoZip()!

    var zipPath: String? = "c:/temp/test.zip"

    // Initialize the zip object, which also sets the FileName property to the path of the zip to be created.
    zip.newZip(zipPath: zipPath)

    // Append a file that will contain the string "Hello World";
    var fileContent: String? = "Hello World"
    var pathInZip: String? = "txtFiles/helloWorld.txt"
    zip.addString(pathInZip: pathInZip, content: fileContent, charset: "utf-8")

    zip.fileName = zipPath
    success = zip.writeAndClose()
    if success == false {
        print("\(zip.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("Success.")
