unzipping files

[GEORGIA]

Thanks to Ron's code http://www.rondebruin.nl/zip.htm
i was able to unzip the files.
However, I need little modification and I am new to VB so i am not quiet
sure how to do so.

here's part of my code:
FileNameZip = "N:\Customer Counts\CEN.zip"
FolderName = "N:\Customer Counts\Tag"
FolderName = "N:\Customer Counts\Tag"
ShellStr = PathWinZip & "Winzip32 -min -e" _
& " " & Chr(34) & FileNameZip & Chr(34) _
& " " & Chr(34) & FolderName & Chr(34)
ShellAndWait ShellStr, vbHide

although it is extracting it to " Tag" folder, there are subfolders listed
so actually, it is extracting it to:
N:\Customer Counts\Tag\dwstage\homedirs\reporting\scripts\data_spool
how would I delete the other folders? i want the files to extract to the
"Tag" folder.

Also, if the file already exist, I want it to overwrite it automatically.

Thank you!

These would both be a function of the command line arguments you furnish to
Winzip. Just identify what the correct arguments are and put them in the
command string.

sorry my ignorance....
how would i go about doing that?

The information page on the command line addon
http://www.winzip.com/prodpagecl.htm

says:

Fully Documented All commands and options are documented in a Windows help
file for ease of reference.

I assume if you are using the addon, you have the help file.

 

[Tom Ogilvy]

ShellStr = PathWinZip & "Winzip32 -min -e -o" _
& " " & Chr(34) & FileNameZip & Chr(34) _
& " " & Chr(34) & FolderName & Chr(34)

should overwrite.

As to the path, I believe you would have to build the archive without using
the save path option from what I could see.

 

[Tom Ogilvy]

Actually, while I haven't tested it. I would expect the default to be to
extract without using the path since there is a -d option to tell it to
extract using the path - but since you say it is using the path, that may
not be true.

Also, the help is for the commandline addon - I assume the arguments would
be the same for winzip32 but no guarantee.

Hi

From the Winzip Help

-o and -j stands for "overwrite existing files without prompting" and "Junk
pathnames", Unless -j is specified,folder information is used

 

[Tom Ogilvy]

Why not document the arguments on your page.

To the OP:

I was using a different help file and assuming the arguments would be the
same - apparently not:
