Am I able to get a script or command to unzip.

[tweacle]

Hi

I have a 7 zip file that I need to unzip but not save it to personal computers but a folder on the server.

Im trying to make is easy so just a click on a icon and Im thinking of a script or command that someone clicks on and asks what subfolder they want to open within the folder and then asks for password thats on the subfolder and unzips as a complete folder to a specific location.

The script or command will always be in the folder so people can just click on it to open files. If 7 zip is difficult I can use the zip function in windows .

Im very rusty on .DOS so any reply in easy english would help.

Folder is C:\Downloads and there will be zipped sub folders within of which I need to unzip etc. They need to unzip to R:\DOWNLOADS

Has anyone any ideas or other suggestions?

You have been given the solution multiple times in multiple topics.

They need to unzip to R:\DOWNLOADS

It seems that the folder server is already mounted to your computer, so for that case siberia-man gave you the answer before:

Code: Select all

  -o{Directory}: set Output directory

Or in other words:

Code: Select all

7z x yourArchive.zip -o"R:\DOWNLOADS"

Unzipping can you do witch python 3.x.x.

Just create a script:
Example.py:

Code: Select all

import zipfile
zip_ref = zipfile.ZipFile("Yourzip.zip", 'r')
zip_ref.extractall()
zip_ref.close()

python: https://www.python.org/
