Default Extracting file from a zip file

That's why it is my code example on my site <g

Good that you have it working now

And it appears that "the file exists." is not because it exists in the
folder I'm defining as the temp folder, but the temp folder - Environ
("Temp") - that the zip file is copied to. It seems I need to include
the lines:

On Error Resume Next
Set FSO = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
FSO.deletefolder Environ("Temp") & "\Temporary Directory*",
True

Hopefully, this is the last of the error...

Hi Ron (or anyone else)

The error has just as mysteriously returned, for reasons that I can't
determine (nothing has changed that I'm aware of).

I'm using the line of code as per the previous post, in the block of
code as previously posted. I'm getting a Windows error, "the file
exists."

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

Paul

FWIW, I've modified the line that was failing with this:


oApp.Namespace(TEMP_FOLDER).CopyHere objFile


It's now working. It's a mystery why it was failing, as the code was
working originally.


Thanks anyway, Ron.

Hi Ron, code is below


Paul


Private Sub LoopThruFileItems(ByVal varZipFullPath As Variant)
' From a zip file, extract required data from multiple file items
Dim oApp As Object
Dim objFile As Object
Dim strCSVFullPath As String


Set oApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
TEMP_FOLDER = Environ("USERPROFILE") & "\Desktop\TEMP\"


For Each objFile In oApp.Namespace(varZipFullPath).Items
If Left(objFile.Name, 6) = "int140" Then
oApp.Namespace(TEMP_FOLDER).CopyHere _
oApp.Namespace(varZipFullPath).Items.Item(objFile. Name)


' Now I work with the file in the temp folder
End If
Next objFile
End Sub

I've successfully used Ron de Bruin's useful code for extracting a
file item from a zip file (www.rondebruin.nl/windowsxpunzip.htm).


Now, for completely unknown reasons, the code is failing.


oApp.Namespace(TEMP_FOLDER).CopyHere _
oApp.Namespace(varZipFullPath).Items.Item
(objFile.Name)


When this line of code executes, I get a Windows error (not a VBA
error) saying "the file exists." when the temp folder is in fact
empty. Even if I delete the temp folder and create a new one, this
error message appears. It has me perplexed, as it previously worked
without any such issue.


Any suggestions?
