Unzip Command: unzip

The unzip command extracts the contents of a .zip file to a specified location within an automation workflow. This allows users to access and manage compressed files efficiently by restoring them to their original or designated directory.

Example: Suppose you want to unzip the file C:\Archives\Reports.zip and extract its contents into the C:\Archives folder.

Steps to configure:

1. Select SET from the Action dropdown.
2. Enter a variable name in the Element Key field (e.g., UnzippedPath). This variable will store the result.
3. Click on Form to open the configuration window.
4. Select Functions from the dropdown, then choose File handler Functions.
5. In the Cmd field, select unzip.
6. Provide the file path of the .zip file in the File parameter (e.g., C:\Archives\Reports.zip).
7. Click Save.

Outcome:

• The system extracts the contents of the .zip file into its current folder.
• The variable in Element Key (e.g., UnzippedPath) stores the path to the extracted files.
• This variable can be used in later steps of your automation process to reference the stored information using the syntax ${VariableName} (e.g., ${UnzippedPath}).
