To create a zip file and add (compress) file into it

step 1. create the zip file
        x = zCreateNewZip('ZipFileName.zip')
step 2. do one time for every file to be added to the zip
        y = zOrderFile('FullPath_and_FileName.txt', 'ShortFileName', Update_mode)
step 3. write the zip file to disk
        x = zCompressFiles('TempDir', 'Password', compress_type, Reset_Archive_Bit, SpanSize, Comment, Progress_Function)
step 4. close the file
        x = zCloseZipFile()

if x <>0 in each of above there was an error
 
 
 

To extract (decompress) all files from a zip file

step 1. open the zip file
        x = zOpenZipFile('ZipFileName.zip')
step 2. extract the files to disk
        x = zExtractAll('Extract_Directory', 'Password', Overwrite_Existing, Use_Folders, Test_Only, Progress_Function)
step 3. close the file
        x = zCloseZipFile()

if x <>0 in each of above there was an error
