Unzip all encrypted files in a folder with known passwords
Dear Gurus,
I found the link to Ron de Bruin's excellent code for unzipping files in this discussion group and it works brilliantly. I now have the need to unzip some archived files which were initially encrypted for email transmission. I have the passwords, and have written the code up to the point of passing the password. Cannot find reference to this problem anywhere on the net (wonder why :-)) ) but since my need is strictly ethical, thought I would post it here. As things are, I run my code, then sit and tap <ctrl v <enter each time the prompt appears for each file opened. Erk. Any alternatives? TIA, Matilda |

I'm not sure what code of Ron's you're using, but isn't there an option to
include the password--well, if you're using the winzip commandline version of the code.

Unzip all encrypted files in a folder with known passwords
Hi Dave,
This is the code I am using. http://www.rondebruin.nl/unzip.htm I can't see an opportunity for passing the password as a parameter here - which isn't to say it isn't there!

Unzip all encrypted files in a folder with known passwords
If you look at this site:
http://www.memecode.com/docs/winzip.html (just did a google search for commandline for winzip password and it was one of the topmost hits) This line: ShellStr = PathWinZip & "Winzip32 -min -e" _ Can be changed to: ShellStr = PathWinZip & "Winzip32 -min -e -sSecretPassword" _ or if you need to put quotes around the password: ShellStr = PathWinZip & "Winzip32 -min -e " _ & "-s" & Chr(34) & "SecretPassword" & Chr(34) _ (Untested, uncompiled. You may have to play with the syntax.)

Thanks, Dave. I'd have googled it, too, had I understood the term "command
line for winzip password" in a vba context. Thanks for your help.

Not a problem.
Ron's program shells out to a command prompt to execute the command. If you're old enough to remember computers before windows, you may remember working at a DOS prompt--instead of pointing and clicking or doubleclicking, you'd actually have to type the command and all the stuff that gets passed to that command. That's what the "commandline" stuff means. Matilda wrote: Thanks, Dave. I'd have googled it, too, had I understood the term "command line for winzip password" in a vba context. Thanks for your help.

Sorry to hijack this thread, however is there any information on the command
line option / switch for creating a self extracting archive (.exe) ?
