I'd like to extract a zip file with a folder structure, but without the first level, e.g.:
ZIP --> Folder1
--> Folder1.1
--> Folder1.2
Currently, when using Expand-Archive cmdlet, there seems to be no option for this.
Is there an easy way to do this on Windows? On a linux box I use bsdtar to achieve this:

For a first time I need to create an .sh for do something. My aim is to unzip a lot of zip folders, so I've wrote the script below:
for zipfiles in /downloads/*.zip; do unzip $zipfiles; done
I can unzip all but I noticed that there are some files with the same name and typing y I can ultimate the process.
There is a way to extract only files with a specific extension, like .docx, instead of the entire zip folder? I'm absolutely sure that there aren't .docx with the same name.
You can specify a pattern:
for zipfiles in /downloads/*.zip; do unzip "$zipfiles" '*.docx'; done
Tested to work with UnZip 6.00.
You can also specify the -x option to exclude.
try this one, it can be useful for your purpose.
for zipfiles in /downloads/*.zip; do unzip -xo "$zipfiles" '*.docx' ; done
by this option overwrite files WITHOUT prompting.
I got a .zip file from my friend and it was compressed under windows, which contains three subfolders inside of it, and when I check the contents of it on my Mac terminal it looks like this:
Now I unzip this file and then zip it through terminal, and when I check the contents of that zip file it becomes like this:
I have googled how to zip on mac without creating a subfolder with same name but none of them solves the problem, my question is how to do the zip on Mac which makes the zip file looks exactly same with the initial one I got.
Thanks very very much
New edit:
I think I might did not do very well to summarize my problem, so the initial folder contains three sub-folders and all of them were created in windows environment and compressed on windows, when I tried to unzip it on my MacOS machine, the unzipped folder looks still good but when I do the compression on Mac and then view the .zip file through unzip -l xxxx.zip, it is giving me 6 files in which the three sub-folders are also treated as files. Based on my knowledge this is because in BSD systems all the folders are treated as files but in windows they are not, what I'm currently doing is to delete all these files that represent folders through "zip -d", which I know is very silly. I would be more than happy to talk about this from an operating system view with anybody who is interested in it. Thanks in advance.
For me this command works fine:
zip -j zippedFolder.zip myFolder/*
To unzip I used
unzip zippedFolder.zip
and I've got only the data from the folder.
Example: The folder I want to zip is on the desktop and he's called testFolder.
Open Terminal
cd /Users/yourUser/Desktop
zip -f myZip.zip testFolder/*
I am pretty new to linux and shell and I wold like to copy a file to a location passed by an argument but change its extension, the windows version of that would be
copy .\a\b\c.pre %~dpn2.i
d --> get the drive letter only
p --> get the path only
n --> get the file name only
So my question is : How can I get the full path of a file passed by argument and add a file extension to it?
The shell command would look like cp ./a/b/c.pre [$2 path but with extension .i]
Thanks in advance
for file in *.src; do
cp "${file}" "${tgt_dir}"/"${file/%.src/.tgt}"
done
This will simply rename all the files with extension .src in the source folder to .tgt in the target folder. You need to set the target folder in your script
I can do the command:
unzip some-zip.zip
and it will produce a some-zip folder.
I don't want a default folder name, but to create my own. Nor do I want to do a mv after.
I don't see a command line option to handle this. Can I accomplish this easily with redirection (if indeed no command line option)? If so, will that work efficiently for a fairly large zip file (52 MB)?
Thanks
unzip file.zip -d destination_folder
I want to zip a directory using the batch file command (Windows XP batch file).
For example, if I want to unzip a file means I can use the jar -xf file.zip(java) bat file command.
Like that I want a command line batch to zip a directory.
If you are using Ubuntu Linux:
Install zip
sudo apt-get install zip
Zip your folder:
zip -r {filename.zip} {foldername}
If you are using Microsoft Windows:
Windows does not come with a command-line zip program, despite Windows Explorer natively supporting Zip files since the Plus! pack for Windows 98.
I recommend the open-source 7-Zip utility which includes a command-line executable and supports many different archive file types, especially its own *.7z format which offers superior compression ratios to traditional (PKZIP) *.zip files:
Download 7-Zip from the 7-Zip home page
Add the path to 7z.exe to your PATH environment variable. See this QA:
How to set the path and environment variables in Windows
Open a new command-prompt window and use this command to create a PKZIP *.zip file:
7z a -tzip {yourfile.zip} {yourfolder}
Cross-platform Java:
If you have the Java JDK installed then you can use the jar utility to create Zip files, as *.jar files are essentially just renamed *.zip (PKZIP) files:
jar -cfM {yourfile.zip} {yourfolder}
Explanation:
* -c compress
* -f specify filename
* -M do not include a MANIFEST file
Yes, we can zip and unzip the file/folder using cmd. See the below command and simply you can copy past in cmd and change the directory and file name
To Zip/Compress File
powershell Compress-Archive D:\Build\FolderName D:\Build\FolderName.zip
To Unzip/Expand File
powershell expand-archive D:\Build\FileName.zip D:\deployments\FileName
You can use the following command:
zip -r nameoffile.zip directory
Hope this helps.
Windows 10 has tar command since 2018. It supports zip archive in default. You do not need to install any additional packages nor software.
tar.exe acvf yourfile.zip yourfolder
Compress-Archive in PowerShell does not support 2GB+ files.
The zip Package should be installed in system.
To Zip a File
zip <filename.zip> <file>
Example:
zip doc.zip doc.txt
To Unzip a File
unzip <filename.zip>
Example:
unzip mydata.zip
Zip the folder from cmd by running PowerShell:
powershell "Add-Type -A System.IO.Compression.FileSystem; [IO.Compression.ZipFile]::CreateFromDirectory('folder','archive.zip')"
Unzip:
powershell "Add-Type -A System.IO.Compression.FileSystem; [IO.Compression.ZipFile]::ExtractToDirectory('archive.zip','folder')"
Nothing listed here worked with me. This should be a very simple thing. I post my answer here, if anything because each time I search for "how to zip on the cmd window" I end up on this page, with no solution that works for me.
So here is the one that works with me: zip output_file input_files, as in the screenshot below.
