Create a Dedicated Folder for Every Zip Files in a Directory and Extract Zip Files

Create a dedicated folder for every zip files in a directory and extract zip files

"extract here" is merely a feature of whatever unzip wrapper you are using. unzip will only extract what actually is in the archive. There is probably no simpler way than a shell script. But sed, awk etc. are not needed for this if you have a POSIX-compliant shell:

for f in *.zip; do unzip -d "${f%*.zip}" "$f"; done

(You MUST NOT escape the * or pathname expansion will not take place.) Be aware that if the ZIP archive contains a directory, such as with Eclipse archives (which always contain eclipse/), you would end up with ./eclipse*/eclipse/eclipse.ini in any case. Add echo before unzip for a dry run.

Unzip all zipped files in a folder to that same folder using Python 2.7.5

Below is the code that worked for me:

import os, zipfile

dir_name = 'C:\\SomeDirectory'
extension = ".zip"

os.chdir(dir_name) # change directory from working dir to dir with files

for item in os.listdir(dir_name): # loop through items in dir
    if item.endswith(extension): # check for ".zip" extension
        file_name = os.path.abspath(item) # get full path of files
        zip_ref = zipfile.ZipFile(file_name) # create zipfile object
        zip_ref.extractall(dir_name) # extract file to dir
        zip_ref.close() # close file
        os.remove(file_name) # delete zipped file

Looking back at the code I had amended, the directory was getting confused with the directory of the script.

The following also works while not ruining the working directory. First remove the line

os.chdir(dir_name) # change directory from working dir to dir with files

Then assign file_name as

file_name = dir_name + "/" + item

ExtractToDirectory , how to extract a zip folder within a zip folder using c#

As per what I see in your code, I think you should call the extractZipFiles method recursively, so that after the extracting you call the method again with the directory where you extracted the files so it scans it for *.zip files.

I'm not sure about what variables you'd want to use, but something like this:

public void extractZipFiles(string targetFileDirectory, string zipFileDirectory, string Number)
{
            Directory.GetFiles(zipFileDirectory, "*.zip", SearchOption.AllDirectories).ToList()
            .ForEach(zipFilePath => {
                var test = Number + "_" + Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(zipFilePath);
                var extractPathForCurrentZip = Path.Combine(targetFileDirectory, test);
                if(!Directory.Exists(extractPathForCurrentZip))
                {
                    Directory.CreateDirectory(extractPathForCurrentZip);
                }
                ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory(zipFilePath, extractPathForCurrentZip);
                extractZipFiles(targetFileDirectory, extractPathForCurrentZip, Number);
            });
}

Script to extract zip files in seperate folders to their own folders

Under unix you could use something like

find <dir> -iname '*.zip' -execdir unzip {} \;

The program find traverses <dir> recursively and on every .zip file it finds it will change to that files directory and executes unzip on it.

Batch script to unzip files into a certain folder

When reading the help for 7z in your cmd window, you will notice that the -o switch is the output directory option. Currently you are telling it to be %%~dpI which is in fact Drive and Path of the current of the zip files. So you would want to change the output directory:

for /R "C:\root\folder" %%I in ("*.zip") do (
  "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\7-Zip\7z.exe" x -y -oc"C:\root\folder2" "%%~fI"
)

I do not currently have 7zip installed, but I am almost 100% sure that it has a recursive function builtin, if so, you do not even need the for loop, you can just try:

7z.exe x -y "C:\root\folder\*.zip" -oc:"C:\root\folder2" -r

If it does not work, I will remove this section from the answer.
