Many answers here mention tools that require installation, but nobody has mentioned that two of Ubuntu's scripting languages, Perl and Python, already come with all the necessary modules that allow you to unzip a zip archive, which means you don't need to install anything else. Just use either of the two scripts presented below to do the job. They're fairly short and can even be condensed to a one-liner command if we wanted to.

tar is an acronym for Tape Archive. tar command is used toManipulates archives in Linux/Unix. System administrators uses tarcommand frequently to rip a bunch of files or directories into highlycompressed archive which are called tarball or tar, bzip andgzip in Linux/Unix system.

Recently moved my Pixma TR8520 to a new location (PC) that previously had a TR 7520 on it. I have tried to download the drivers , both the full suite and also the TR8500 series MP Drivers Ver.1.02 (Windows). Every time I try to run or install it I receive a message that "Zip file is damaged, truncated, or has been changed since it was created. If you downloaded this file, try downloading it again." I have installed a new version of WinZip, and still get the same message with every download. Its been a frustrating 3 days, and I am at the end of my brain power to rectify it. I hope someone smarter than me can help. Thanks.

The error that you are experiencing could be caused if the download was corrupted and stopped. When you attempt to download again, the file has been detected as already downloaded, so you end up executing the same corrupted file. Also, this error can occur if the security software installed on your computer is blocking the execution of the unzipping process, unzipping some, but not all of the zipped files.

Please go to a different computer and download "TR8500 series MP Drivers Ver.1.02 (Windows)". Once saved, move that file to a USB drive and then connect that drive to the other computer and move the installation to that computer. Once moved, please attempt to install.

Another way to do this would be to save the "TR8500 series MP Drivers Ver.1.02 (Windows)" file to your desktop. Once saved, please hold down the Windows key on your keyboard, press the letter E and let both go.

Thanks for the input . I will try this route. I deleted all of the previous downloads and disabled Norton while working on this. I did copy the MP file on my laptop to a USB and tdied that to no avail. I did not yet rename it and will try that . I don't have explorer, rather Edge, Opera and Google. Again thank you

I'm working on a project where the data source comes in daily as a zipped file. Is anybody able to show me how to unzip a file within my workflow? Alternatively, can I use a zip file within my workflow? I'm unsure if Alteryx would be able to work with that as an input when building out the workflow.

Thank you, this thread looks like the answer to my question. However, I am having a difficult time understanding where I need to make changes to fit my use case? I'm relatively new to using Alteryx and am pretty lost trying to understand the workflow.

The file you have attached is a batch macro. Usually what happens with something like this is that you have it saved to a macro repository and then you can drop it in a workflow like you would any other tool. This one looks like it is built for downloading of the zip file first. Do you already have your zip file? So if you already have a zip file in some sort of repository, you should be able to use chunks of this workflow to do the work. you are looking to do. pretty much the second half. Also it looks like it uses 7zip, so you will need that as well.

I think I'm following what you're saying. I do already have the zip file although, that in itself is a bit of a problem. Right now, the zip file is sent to me via email daily. I think use Power Automate to take that attachment from the email and drop it onto a shared drive. From there, I'd want Alteryx to pick up that zipped file in the workflow. I'm assuming the second half of the workflow does that for me.

Let's revisit this when you get back. I am unfamiliar with power automate, but I did some quick searching and it seems you can unzip with that tool. If you are already familiar with how it works, maybe having the process that saves the zip file also unzip it, might be a worthy solution as well.

Happy Tuesday! I'm back from much needed vacation and would be happy to revisit this topic. I did some initial research to unzip files through Power Automate but it struggled to push the file to a shared drive.

To anyone still following this. There was a little more to the process that we had to go through. We were able to answer the original question, which was, "Can we unzip a file with Alteryx?" Yes you can. You need to utilize command line. The links above show how to do that. We also worked through using the directory tool to find the unzipped folder and extract the files from that.

I have problem with measurements capture file ( .sal). I have recieved measurements capture file ( .sal) done by my friend, and I have tried open it in Logic 2.3.35.
When I try to open that capture file in my Logic 2.3.35 environment. I see information in the bottom on the left side: " failed to unzip file ". Do you know cause of that issue and know the solution for it?

Issue Update: The measurements capture file is corrupted permanently. Referring to support investigation it could be caused by too early closing Logic environment when saving of the capture was not completed.
Issue Closed.

In an earlier question I asked, I asked if it was possible to unzip files. I read a blog (Using FILENAME ZIP to unzip and read data files in SAS - The SAS Dummy), but at the moment I am having a hard time following it using JSL.

I have a folder with 150 zipped folders in it. Each folder has a device name, followed by an order score, then the date (ie. Device X_2016_07_20.zip). I want to create a new folder with the device name (which I can get working). I can get open a zip folder and see all the different files within, but I can not figure out how to unzip (or even copy) to the new folder. Can someone please give me a hand?

there are two examples, in bold, because a zip file might contain binary data (a JMP data table in this case) or plain text (a JMP script). The binary data can't be stored in a JSL string, but a BLOB will work. The next line, saveTextFile, understands both strings and BLOBs (and will save a binary file for a BLOB, in spite if its name). You should not depend on the order of the members in the zip file, especially if someone might have edited/added/deleted members from them.

If you recently downloaded multiple attachments from an email or your cloud storage platform like Google Drive, you likely noticed that the files are often stored and downloaded in a single zip archive file.

You can now find the files you need in the folder where you saved them on the Windows File Explorer. However, if you're already looking at the WinZip file you want to uncompress in File Explorer, there's an even faster way to unzip it.

Before opening zipped files with WinZip, ensure that it is your default app for opening .ZIP files. To do so, open the WinZip app for the first time. When WinZip shows the Make WinZip my default app to open ZIP files. dialog box, click on Yes, then follow the instructions.

While most encounter .ZIP files on desktop and laptop computers, there are some instances where you'll have to deal with them on your iPhone or iPad. Thankfully, it's simple and easy to uncompress ZIP files on iOS with WinZip.

When WinZip finishes unpacking your compressed files, open your Android's Files app and navigate to the folder where you saved the files. If you chose My Files as the destination of your unzipped files, you'll find the folder in Internal Storage > WinZip.

I was able to download your latest extract and unzip it without issue. I recommend 7zip as a free decompression software if you are using Windows; the archive utility should take care of this on a Mac. There is a known known issues with Archive Utility decompressing certain .gz files for Mac users with the Catalina OS; you can get around this issue by using Terminal to navigate to the place where the .gz file is, and then entering

Also, wanted to ask if this unzip feature only works for zip files? Will it work for .tar and other compressed methods? Any way from the webui the unzip can show status or activity of files being unzipped?

I also get curiously different messages depending on whether I have a leading colon in my path (I'm on LabView 8.5.1 on the MacOS). The message above is generated when I have a leading colon. When I don't have a leading colon, I get the message:

Last night I ran a mass compile which I have been putting off since I upgraded from 8.2 to 8.5.1 as I thought there might be some uncompiled sub VI hidden in there somwhere, but no luck. This morning in trying to unzip a file made with the zip functions in LabView I still get the message:

This time around I wired path indicators to prove to myself that I was dealing with absolute paths and not relative paths. The error message says the path is but the path type functions clearly indicate that the paths are absolute paths and the "Check if File or Folder Exists" VI clearly shows that the file and folders exist.
