Unzip all Files to a Single Directory (Ignoring Subdirectories in Zip)

See more Zip Examples

Demonstrates how to unzip all files into a single directory, ignoring the internal directory structure of the files in the .zip. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL lcOutDir
LOCAL loFac
LOCAL loZip
LOCAL lnNumUnzipped

lnSuccess = 0

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

lcOutDir = "c:/temp/testUnzipDir"

*  Make sure our output directory exists.
loFac = CreateObject('Chilkat.FileAccess')
lnSuccess = loFac.DirEnsureExists(lcOutDir)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loFac.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFac
    CANCEL
ENDIF

loZip = CreateObject('Chilkat.Zip')

*  In this example, the xml_files.zip contains some files in the subdirectories "dir1" and also "dir2/dir3".

*  a1.xml
*  b1.xml
*  c1.xml
*  dir1/a2.xml
*  dir1/c2.xml
*  dir2/dir3/c3.xml

lnSuccess = loZip.OpenZip("qa_data/zips/xml_files.zip")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFac
    RELEASE loZip
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  Unzip all files into the directory c:/temp/testUnzipDir
lnNumUnzipped = loZip.UnzipInto(lcOutDir)
IF (lnNumUnzipped < 0) THEN
    ? loZip.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loFac
    RELEASE loZip
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Num unzipped = " + STR(lnNumUnzipped)

*  After unzipping via UnzipInto, we have this:

*  c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a1.xml
*  c:\temp\testUnzipDir\b1.xml
*  c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c1.xml
*  c:\temp\testUnzipDir\a2.xml
*  c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c2.xml
*  c:\temp\testUnzipDir\c3.xml

loZip.CloseZip()

? "Success."
