I 7Zip'd a multi-gig folder which contained many folders each with many files using the split to volumes (9Meg) option. 7Zip created files of type .zip.001,
.zip.002, etc. When I extract .001 it appears to work correctly but I get an 'unexpected end of data' error. 7Zip does not automatically go to .002. When I extract .002, it also gives the same error and it does not continue the original folder/file structure. Instead it extracts a zip file in the same folder as the previously extracted files. How do I properly extract split files to obtain the original folder/file structure? Thank you.

I have very little experience with the command line and I'm trying to do something very complicated (to me).
I have a directory with A LOT of subfolders and files in them. All file names contain the parent folder name, e.g.:
Folder1
data_Folder1.csv
other_file_Folder1.csv
Folder2
data_Folder2.csv
other_file_Folder2.csv
In another folder (all in one directory), I have a new version of all the data_FolderX.csv files and I need to replace them in the original folders. I cannot give them another name because of later analyses. Is there a way to replace the files in the original folders with the new version, in the command line?
I tried this Replacing a file into multiple folders/subdirectories but didn't work for me. Given that I have many .csv files in the derectories, I don't want to replace them all, so I don't think I should do it based on the file extension. I would also like to note that the name "FolderX" contains several other _, so in principal, I want to replace the .csv file starting with data in the FolderX.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance!
I have two folders with many files of the same naming format but differing extensions. I would like to loop through the files of the first folder and extract their filenames to check if a file of the same name exists in the other folder, then create one (with the other extension) if it doesn't. I can't get a grapple on bash for whatever reason, so I was wondering if there's a simple way to do this.
zip.UnzipMatching("qa_output","*.xml",true)
With this syntax I can unzip every Xml in every directory from my zip file and create the same directory structure.
But how can I unzip only the xml in the root directory?
I cannot understand how to write the filter.
I tried with "/*.xml" but nothing is extracted.
If I write "*/*.xml" I only extract xml files from subdirectory (and I skip the xml in the root directory!).
Can anyone help me?
example of a zip files content:
a1.xml
b1.xml
c1.xml
dir1\a2.xml
dir1\c2.xml
dir2\dir3\c3.xml
with unzipmatching("qa_output","*.xml", true) I extract all this files with the original directory structure, but I want to extract only a1.xml, b1.xml and c1.xml.
Is there a way to write filter to achieve this result, or a different command, or a different approach?
I think what you want is to call UnzipMatchingInto: All files (matching the pattern) in the Zip are unzipped into the specfied dirPath regardless of the directory path information contained in the Zip. This has the effect of collapsing all files into a single directory. If several files in the Zip have the same name, the files unzipped last will overwrite the files already unzipped.
I am looking to merge PDF files from two separate folders into a third folder, based on file name.
Directory structure:
FOLDER_1 = File set #1.
FOLDER_2 = File set #2.
MERGED_PDFS = Output of merged files.
FOLDER_1 contains a set of PDF files which could be named with any combination of letters, numbers and allowed symbols.
FOLDER_2 contains a set of PDFs with the exact same names as FOLDER_1. The data on these sheets is different. The files from FOLDER_2 need to be inserted into the files from FOLDER_1, at the end of the file.
The output of this merged file will be placed in the MERGED_PDFs folder, retaining the name used to match the files in FOLDER_1 and FOLDER_2.
Example:
FOLDER_1: R000135322.PDF
FOLDER_2: R000135322.PDF
MERGED_PDFS: R000135322.PDF
(MERGED_PDFS contains a merged PDF from FOLDER_1 & FOLDER_2, with the PDF from FOLDER_2 being placed at the end of the PDF in FOLDER_1.
I saw some similar examples of this being done with PDFtk, but unsure how to edit to get my expected output.
Thanks
Here's what you need to do:
Install FolderMill
Specify the Incoming folder and the Output folder for FolderMill on your PC
Since you mention that files in FOLDER_1 and files in FOLDER_2 have the same filenames, just add "Convert to PDF" action and select Multipage: "Append pages to existing document" in the options.
Click Apply changes
Start FolderMill by pressing the Play button.
Grab the files from FOLDER_1 and put them into the Incoming folder
Grab the files from FOLDER_2 and do the same.
Receive the merged PDFs from the Output folder
If the you are not sure if all the corresponding files have the same filenames, you may also need to use the "Rename" action.
FYI, we have a detailed step-by-step guide how to do it (with screenshots).
You are welcome :)
Kind of easy question, but I can't find the answer. I want to extract the contents of multiple zipped folders into a single directory. I am using the bash console, which is the only tool available on the particular website I am using.
For example, I have two folders: a.zip (which contains a1.txt and a2.txt) and b.zip (which contains b1.txt and b2.txt). I want to get extract all four text files into a single directory.
I have tried
unzip \*.zip -d \newdirectory
But it creates two directories (a and b) with two text files in each.
I also tried concatenating the two zipped folders into one big folder and extracting it, but it still creates two directories, even when I specify a new directory.
I can't figure what I am doing wrong. Any help?
Thanks in advance!
Use the -j parameter to ignore any directory structure.
unzip -j -d /path/to/your/directory '*.zip*'
