Description The Unzip Action will unzip any valid .zip file into the folder you specify.	Unzip Files dialog

Parameters

File to unzip
The filename (including path) to unzip/decompress.

Extract path
The folder where the zip file’s contents should be extracted to. Note that the folder you supply here must already exist before the step is executed.

Overwrite existing files
If this is selected, AutoMate™ will replace any files that already exist with the contents of the zip file without warning. If this is not selected, AutoMate™ will not decompress (i.e. extract) a file if it already exists in the extract path.

Preserve folder structure
If this is selected, AutoMate™ will preserve the folder structure as it was in the zip file, creating an necessary folders and placing the unzipped files into them to duplicate the structure that was present when the zip file was created (the zip file must have been created with the preserve directory structure flag selected). If this is not selected, AutoMate™ will unzip all the files in the zip file to the same folder as set by the extract path.

Notes

The step fails if AutoMate™ cannot unzip the file, either because the zip file cannot be found., there is insufficient disk space, or the file is not in a valid zip format.
