unzipping files
 
Thanks to Ron's code http://www.rondebruin.nl/zip.htm
i was able to unzip the files.
However, I need little modification and I am new to VB so i am not quiet
sure how to do so.

here's part of my code:
FileNameZip = "N:\Customer Counts\CEN.zip"
FolderName = "N:\Customer Counts\Tag"
FolderName = "N:\Customer Counts\Tag"
ShellStr = PathWinZip & "Winzip32 -min -e" _
& " " & Chr(34) & FileNameZip & Chr(34) _
& " " & Chr(34) & FolderName & Chr(34)
ShellAndWait ShellStr, vbHide

although it is extracting it to " Tag" folder, there are subfolders listed
so actually, it is extracting it to:
N:\Customer Counts\Tag\dwstage\homedirs\reporting\scripts\data _spool
how would I delete the other folders? i want the files to extract to the
"Tag" folder.

Also, if the file already exist, I want it to overwrite it automatically.

Thank you!

These would both be a function of the command line arguments you furnish to
Winzip. Just identify what the correct arguments are and put them in the
command string.

The information page on the command line addon
http://www.winzip.com/prodpagecl.htm

says:

Fully Documented All commands and options are documented in a Windows help
file for ease of reference.

I assume if you are using the addon, you have the help file.

As to the path, I believe you would have to build the archive without using
the save path option from what I could see.

Actually, while I haven't tested it. I would expect the default to be to
extract without using the path since there is a -d option to tell it to
extract using the path - but since you say it is using the path, that may
not be true.

Also, the help is for the commandline addon - I assume the arguments would
be the same for winzip32 but no guarantee.

Hi

From the Winzip Help

-o and -j stands for "overwrite existing files without prompting" and "Junk
pathnames", Unless -j is specified,folder information is used

I was using a different help file and assuming the arguments would be the
same - apparently not:
