Hi,
I’m currently working on a project where I need to handle .gz files. These files act like zip archives and contain multiple files within them.
The requirement is:
.gz file into a folder..zip file.I tried using the Unzip activity, but it doesn’t seem to work with .gz files.
Any suggestions on how to implement this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Hi @jai_kumar2
You can use below code in invoke code activity to do the same
Alternatively, you can also consider using third party activity. From your studio, go to manage packages-> marketplace-> type the name of this activity and install to use.
Hi @sonaliaggarwal47 , thank you for your response. I’m currently encountering the following exception.

Hi @jai_kumar2
Is your zipped folder only .gz or .tar.gz?
I believe code is for the latter option.
If it’s only gz, I think you will need to modify the code a little for same.
Else I would suggest the marketplace package and use activities available in it to unzip your .gz folder
Hi, yes it’s only gz and I tried change code but still not resolved.
Did you try using the package?
But I cant use third party package.
