How to un zip .zip files using UNIX commands or any other techniques

bhanuprakash — Fri, 04 Oct 2019 07:31:30 GMT

Hi Team,

I have different types of files like SAS data set, transpose files, excel and zip files in one zip file(All_types_of_TPV_data.zip).

It is located in below path.

Path: C:\Users\BPrakash\Documents\input

libname in "C:\Users\BPrakash\Documents\input" ;

And I need to extract that to below location.

Path: C:\Users\BPrakash\Documents\output

libname out "C:\Users\BPrakash\Documents\output" ;

Can anyone please suggest the simple way to unzip the zip files.

Note: I am using sas EG 9.4

With SAS 9.4 you've got a zip engine. The following two blogs should provide all the direction you need.

I have seen those posts before I posted this Topic and those are not helping me to unzip .zip file at a one shot.

Do you know what command you would run to extract the contents of the ZIP file into a directory?

Also why does you subject line mention UNIX and the paths you show use WINDOWS syntax?

Sorry for the confusion

I expected the below piece of code.

x "unzip -oP <zip_password> -d C:/Users/BPrakash/Documents/output C:/Users/BPrakash/Documents/input/ All_types_of_TPV_data.zip";

Thank you for your support.
