Winzip using command prompt

1 New Member
Im writing a script and need help. I need to extract a file using the command prompt. Are there commands to extract files or unzip files(without downloading any add-ons)??? Let's say i have a file named 'test.war'. Inside that file are more files but i need one of those files named 'app.mf' which can seen as a text file. I can get that file if I manually open 'test.war' using winZip then open 'app.mf' (opens in notepad). But i want to use only the command prompt to do all this. I want to extract that 'app.mf' file to another folder. Any ideas? Thanks.

It looks like u need to install something or else u won't be able to unzip with cmd. If u have winzip pro go download the free addon, if u don't....try this, don't know if it works anymore or not (it was made for win95).

**be safe

good luck

I'm using ASP and I need to generate a ZIP file that contains a list of files that I'm pulling from a database. I've determined WinZip's command line parameters so that I can use it, the problem is I'm unsure how to run WinZip on the server. Set WshShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run("c:\winzip.exe") Assuming this would work, how do I get the process to terminate upon

Is there anyone with experience using the Winzip command line add-in? I can't get it to create the zip file with a space in the file name. Using: RetValue = Shell("C:\winzip\wzzip.exe C:\MyFolder\My ZipFile.Zip C:\MyOtherFolder\MyFile.mdb") What is the syntax when you want a space in the zipfile file name?

No way this should be that difficult... I have a program that does a file watch on a folder. When a file is created in this folder, I simply want to zip it up using WinZip (with the command line version of WinZip). I have been unable to do so with any success. I have been using DTE.ExecuteCommand to try and get this working but the error "Command "wzzip.exe" is not valid." keeps popping up.

Hi all, I regularly use FTP to place Self Extracting Zip files on the web for remote users to update their datafiles. Works very nicely. I have automated the creation of the initial zip file ( update.zip ), and can automate the FTP'ing of the SE zip file to the update site. I have, as yet, been unable to find a way of automating the creation of a SE zip file from the initial update.zip. I have performed a rather

I am trying to incorparate the win zip command line processor in my code on an Access 2003 database form. The code that I downloaded made a call to the windows api. It requires that you use short names because it works in the command window. The call is to apiGetShortPathName from the kernel. It works great for returning the short name for the xls file I am zipping. But then when I use the same path and name with a zip extension is...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
