Title: Batch file help needed ASAP :(
Post by: JOhnathan.Pierce on April 09, 2013, 12:44:07 PM

I will try to explain this as best as I can. Basically what I am looking for is a batch file that I can automate that will take a zip file and extract it to a different folder.

Example -

C:\Blah\happy\today.zip  <----- I want to have the batch file extract this zip file to C:\Blah\ using a batch file. Please tell if this is possible and how.

Thank you!!

This can easily be achieved using pkunzip in command line of dos shell, as long as the zip file is not password protected.
