Zip File - Extract

Extracts files from a Zip archive.

Settings

Zip filename:

The full path and filename of the Zip file.

Files to extract:

The files that you want to extract from the Zip file. To specify multiple files, use a delimited list.

For each file that you want to extract, you must specify the file's path within the Zip file. For example, to extract the foo.txt file from the lala subfolder in the Zip file, you would enter "lala\foo.txt".

You can also use wildcards to specify multiple files. For example, you could extract all files from the Zip file by entering "*.*" in this field.

Delimiter:

The delimiter that you used to separate items in the File to extract field. If the text in the File to extract field is not a delimited list, you can leave this field blank.

Unzip to folder:

The folder that the files will be extracted to.

Recurse subfolders

Select this option if you want AutoPlay to recurse into subfolders within the Zip file as it searches for files to extract. This is primarily useful when wildcards are used in the File to extract field.

Use internal zip folder names

Select this option if you want AutoPlay to recreate the internal file structure of the Zip file as it extracts the files to the user's system.

Use password

Select this option if you need to specify a password in order to extract files from the Zip file.

Password:

The Zip password to use. This field is only available if the Use password option is enabled.
