import java.util.zip.*;

public class solution {
    public static void main(String args[])

                = new ZipFile("f:\\file.zip");

            // Display the name of the zip file
            // using getName() function
            System.out.println(zip_file.getName());
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e.getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Example 2: Create a file named zip_file and get the name using getName() function. “file1.zip” is a non-existent zip file in f: directory.

// Java program to demonstrate the
// use of getName() function

import java.util.zip.*;

public class solution {
    public static void main(String args[])
    {

        try {

            // Create a Zip File
            ZipFile zip_file
                = new ZipFile("f:\\file1.zip");

            // Display the name of the zip file
            // using getName() function
            System.out.println(zip_file.getName());
        }
        catch (Exception e) {
