Solved: Unzip multiple files

Former Member · ‎03-18-2013

Hi,

I have an requirement, where I need to unzip a zip file (Zip file has multiple files) and the unzipped files should be placed in a folder.

I used the "AP_Modules/PayloadZipBean" but it unzips only one file and ignores the rest files by creating a copy of the same first file of the zip.

I cannot use the shell script because of my client restrictions, Is there any other way I can unzip multiple files from a zip file.

Appreciate any solutions for the same.

Regards,

Sainath Chutke

Hi Sainath,

As you said PayloadZipBean module comes up with some problems when you have several files to unzip. As far as i know the best way to solve this problem is with a progam in your OS, and this program will be called by Pi. If you can't use OS programs the only way that i know is with a java.

Check Praveen Gujjeti's answer in this thread: http://scn.sap.com/message/7289311#7289311

Also you can learn more about unzip in java, although you have to adapt it to PI:
