How to open a zip file, then copy some files, paste it into the desired path?

Help Studio

I am downloading a report from a website, it is a zip file and will be downloaded into my “download” folder, I want to open the file, then move only the selected two files into the new path folder that I have created.

The name of the file is always the same for the beginning, the only difference would be the date that follow.

@kian.ng,

Use Extract/Unzip Files activity to just unzip the files to a folder and from that folder you can use Move Files activity to move the files to desired location.

Thanks,

The file I am trying to extract is different each week, under the “File to extract” activity, I have put a * on the name of the file as it is different each week but it is throwing me an error message saying that the file name is incorrect?

Hello @kian.ng

You could parse the FileInfo output from the download activity and then get the name by typing:

fi_File.FullName

Also, I would need to use the path that could be use for multiple user rather than just my folder, the “THIS ONE HERE” on the below will be different depending on the userid, how do I set it up?

“C:\Users\THIS ONE HERE\Downloads\firms_new_*.zip”

Hi @kian.ng

Can you try below

InputFolder = Directory.GetFiles("C:\Users\" + Environment.UserName + "\Downloads", "New folder*.zip").FirstOrDefault()
DestinationFolder = "C:\Users\lrtetala\Desktop\DestinationFolder"

@kian.ng

The image shows a user interface for extracting or unzipping files, with fields for the file to extract, destination folder, and an option to extract to a dedicated folder. (Captioned by AI)

@kian.ng

Did you change the if condition??

The image shows a workflow for iterating through files in a folder, checking a condition on each file's name without extension, and moving the file to a destination folder if the condition is met. (Captioned by AI)
