File Extraction

[Mxha]

I am trying to extract a file sitting in a sub-directory of a zipped folder via shell. I have tried the syntax: EXPAND EXAMPLE.ZIP NEWFOLDER but after extraction the folder becomes of type file. Please help

Hi Mxha,

i think you have to use
"unzip"
(see this thread for more infos

Hi Mxha,
hope this is windows command for extracting file from cab/i386 folder compressed file.

In windows actually the example.zip will be exapanded (uncompressed) ,you will not get any new file.
for eg:
expand example.zip newfolder will expand the example.zip to nefolder file that is it.

in unix the funtionality is different.

please letme know which os your using?

regards
mano

Thanks for the response guys. I'm using Windows O/S. I tried the "unzip" command already and got an error that says its not recognised etc.

Hi,

'unzip' Windows binary available here:
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/WIN32/

Example:
C:\> unzip arch d1/d2/myfile
Archive: arch.zip
inflating: d1/d2/myfile

Note that filenames/paths ARE case-sensitive with 'unzip'.

To check contents before extracting:
C:\> unzip -l arch

In the future, please remember to post Windows-related questions to a Windows forum.

Hi,

Welcome to the ITRC forums.

1) Download this self-extracting archive:
ftp://ftp.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/WIN32/unz552xN.exe

2) Move the archive to a directory in your path. 'echo %PATH%' to see your path.

3) Extract the file by running it.

4) 'cd' to the directory containing the .zip file.

5) unzip yourzipfile.zip FoLdEr1/fOlDeR2/TheFile
