How to check if a file exists in a zip file

[PWilliams]

Is there a way to check if a file exists inside a zip file? The File Exists activity doesn’t seem to work. I could pull the properties of the zip file, and if it’s 0kb, then I would know it’s empty. I was hoping for a better solution.

You can achieve this by using c# code in invoke code activity.

Please refer below c# code.

using (ZipArchive archive = ZipFile.OpenRead(zipPath))
{
foreach (ZipArchiveEntry entry in archive.Entries)
{
Console.WriteLine(entry.FullName);
//entry.ExtractToFile(Path.Combine(destFolder, entry.FullName));
}
}

Hi @PWilliams,

you can also refer below thread if you would like to go for python based solution:

Can I get the files inside a .zip without unzipping it?

Hi @guintherlanger In order to get the list of file names inside a zip file you can use a python library “zipfile”. As python integration is possible in UiPath using Python Scope you can try this method. from zipfile import ZipFile with ZipFile('file.zip', 'r') as zip: for info in zip.infolist(): print(info.filename) The code above gives the list of file names inside the “file.zip” zip file. For detailed info refer this article

Thank you for the fast replies. Ended up just going a simple route of getting file properties.
