Extracting zip from zip/folder into another folder

[Jacqui_M (Jacqui Muller (MEA))]

Hey @heena_shaikh

There are multiple ways to do this - either through running command-line prompts through UiPath or trying to use UiPath activities.

Please take a look at these posts on how to zip\unzip files using UiPath:

Best way to unzip files

What is the best way to unzip files to another folder?

Unzip Files using invoke method

I’m opening your workflow and I get this warning 'ZipFile' does not have a public static method named 'ExtractToDirectory' matching the parameter types, generic type arguments, and generic type constraints supplied to InvokeMethod. Basically you’re trying to call ZipFile.ExtracttoDirectory() instead of ZipFile.ExtractToDirectory(zipFile, extractPath) After setting the parameters (zipPath, extractPath) for the ExtractToDirectory method it will work. Aren’t you getting the same? [image]

If the current folder structure has multiple layers of files that need to be zipped\ unzipped, it may require a for loop or even a do while loop. The do while loop will require you to check whether or not there are more files with .zip extension, if there are then the iteration should continue. The for loop will require you to know how many iterations of zipping\unzipping you would need to go through.

Please shout if you get stuck!
Have a great one further!
