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

LOCAL oZip
LOCAL cXml

nSuccess := 0

//  Open an existing ZIP archive.
oZip := CreateObject("Chilkat.Zip")

nSuccess := oZip:OpenZip("example.zip")
IF (nSuccess == 0)
    ? oZip:LastErrorText
    oZip:destroy()
    RETURN
ENDIF

//  Get the ZIP directory information as XML.
cXml := oZip:GetDirectoryAsXML()

? cXml

//  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>
