Hi @Vishnu_Reddy1

Have a look on the video and thread

In UiPath, How Do I Unzip or Extract a File?

Extract files from .rar file

Is there any in built activities in UiPath to extract the files from a .rar folder. I want to extract the files and save it in a new folder with Today’s date as the folder name.

Hi @Vishnu_Reddy1

You can try with Balareva activity for zip/unzip file activity

UiPath Marketplace - BalaReva ZipUnzip Activities

Hi Guys, I have successfully uploaded Zip and UnZip in UiPath Go.This package contains the below activities . Zip Activity It is a popular archive format widely using in Internet. ZIP files are data containers. They store one or several files and folders in the compressed form as a single file. Password is optional. It compresses in “zip” and “rar” format. Unzip Activity It is the act of extracting the files from a zipped single file (with password) to a specific folder. https://go.uipath.…

UiPath | zip | unzip (zip and rar)

Or

You can try with Extract/Unzip Files Activity

Activités - Extraire/Décompresser des fichiers

Hello Vishnu,
one way to unpack 7z was as @moenk here wrote, use the Start Process activity with the 7z.exe command line version. Here an example:

Look at the commands and switches of 7z.exe CLI.

It is in no case advisable to use an external activity for Zip/Unzip (not 7Zip), because UiPath offers a build in one, but this support only Zip format, not 7z.

Requirements: You must be install 7zip software on your machine.

I have made the script as attached file… You save it on local machine, edit it and then change the Unrar.txt into Unrar.bat

In script file, you can add any type of zip file you want to unzip ( such as: 7z )

And add “Start Process activity” as below picture to call the unrar.bat file.
Unrar.txt (185 Bytes)

Hello Vishnu,
download and install 7Zip from 7-zip.org. Now you can use it in your UiPath workflow. My example as attachment.

Sequence.xaml (5.9 KB)

It is very easy, try it.

All you have to do is to set the correct path to 7z.exe and to set the filename, which you want to unpack. It will unpack all files in your project folder. If you want to use another target use the switch -o , to set the output directory.
Best regards

Hello Vishnu,
copy the XAML file into your project folder and after that you can drag and drop it from the project tab into your workflow.
