This question already has an answer here:



  • How can I compress (/ zip ) and uncompress (/ unzip ) files and folders with batch file without using any external tools?

    3 answers



I would like to use a .bat file to unzip a ZIP compressed archive file if possible at all. Nothing fancy, I just want to extract the entire archive file to the same location, i.e. download a .zip file to desktop and want to extract it next to desktop with the same name.



I tried this, but with no success.



for /R "C:UsersDesktoptest.zip" %%I in ("*.zip") do(
"%ProgramFiles(x86)%7-zip7z.exe" x - y -o"%%~dpnI" "%%~fI"
)
exit

You shouldn't need the loop. Depending on whether you want to extract the directory structure contained within the archive or just extract everything to a single directory, you would use:



7z e C:UsersDesktoptest.zip -o C:UsersDesktoptest


or



7z x C:UsersDesktoptest.zip -o C:UsersDesktoptest


See https://sevenzip.osdn.jp/chm/cmdline/commands/index.htm for a list of commands and drill down as needed for the various options.



You should not need a for loop in your batch file, unless you intend to only extract files based on a list of patterns.
