Unzip a folder and copy all the files inside the folder to a different folder

[mali10020]

Good morning guys!!

please assist if you can!!

I want this code to unzip the latest folder in Dir and copy all the files inside that folder to a different folder and open the bigest file in the folder

Sub Unzip1()
Dim FSO As Object
Dim oApp As Object
Dim Fname As Variant
Dim FileNameFolder As Variant
Dim DefPath As String
Dim strDate As String

Fname = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Zip Files (*.zip), *.zip", _
MultiSelect:=False)
If Fname = False Then
'Do nothing
Else
'Root folder for the new folder.
'You can also use DefPath = "C:\Apps\CipherRounds_1633694385.zip"
DefPath = Application.DefaultFilePath
If Right(DefPath, 1) <> "\" Then
DefPath = DefPath & "\"
End If

'Create the folder name
strDate = Format(Now, " dd-mm-yy h-mm-ss")
FileNameFolder = DefPath & "MyUnzipFolder " & strDate & "\"

'Make the normal folder in DefPath
MkDir FileNameFolder

'Extract the files into the newly created folder
Set oApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")

oApp.Namespace(FileNameFolder).CopyHere oApp.Namespace(Fname).Items

'If you want to extract only one file you can use this:
'oApp.Namespace(FileNameFolder).CopyHere _
'oApp.Namespace(Fname).items.Item("test.txt")

MsgBox "You find the files here: " & FileNameFolder

On Error Resume Next
Set FSO = CreateObject("scripting.filesystemobject")
FSO.DeleteFolder Environ("Temp") & "\Temporary Directory*", True
End If

'ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("").CopyWorkbooks("Mobile").Worksheets ("Device name")
'ActiveSheet.name = NewestFile.name
Cells.Select
Selection.Copy
Application.DisplayAlerts = False

ActiveWindow.Close

Application.CutCopyMode = False
Application.DisplayAlerts = True

Windows("Mobile.xlsm").Activate
ActiveSheet.Paste
Range("A1").Select


'ActiveSheet.name = NewestFile.name
'Workbooks(NewestFile.Name).Close

End Sub

See if this does what you want:

Sub Unzip2()
'
    Dim LargestFileSize As Long
    Dim FSO             As Object
    Dim oApp            As Object
    Dim DefPath         As String
    Dim LargestFile     As String
    Dim MyFile          As String
    Dim strDate         As String
    Dim Fname           As Variant
    Dim FileNameFolder  As Variant
'
    Fname = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Zip Files (*.zip), *.zip", MultiSelect:=False)
'
    If Fname = False Then
        Exit Sub
    Else
'       Root folder for the new folder.
'       You can also use DefPath = "C:\Apps\CipherRounds_1633694385.zip"
        DefPath = Application.DefaultFilePath
'
        If Right(DefPath, 1) <> "\" Then DefPath = DefPath & "\"
'
'       Create the folder name
        strDate = Format(Now, " dd-mm-yy h-mm-ss")
        FileNameFolder = DefPath & "MyUnzipFolder " & strDate & "\"
'
'       Make the normal folder in DefPath
        MkDir FileNameFolder
'
'       Extract the files into the newly created folder
        Set oApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
        oApp.Namespace(FileNameFolder).CopyHere oApp.Namespace(Fname).Items
'
'       If you want to extract only one file you can use this:
'       oApp.Namespace(FileNameFolder).CopyHere oApp.Namespace(Fname).items.Item("test.txt")
'
        MsgBox "You find the files here: " & FileNameFolder
    End If
'
    LargestFileSize = 0
'
    MyFile = Dir(FileNameFolder & "*.*")
'
    If Len(MyFile) = 0 Then
        MsgBox "No files were found...", vbExclamation
        Exit Sub
    End If
'
    Do While Len(MyFile) > 0
        If FileLen(FileNameFolder & MyFile) >= LargestFileSize Then
            LargestFile = MyFile
            LargestFileSize = FileLen(FileNameFolder & MyFile)
        End If
'
        MyFile = Dir
    Loop
'
'   Temporary Troubleshoot message
    MsgBox "The Largest file is named: " & LargestFile & " and it's size is " & LargestFileSize & " bytes"
'
    Workbooks.Open FileNameFolder & LargestFile
End Sub

It asks the user for the zip file location, extracts the files in the zip file to a folder and then opens the largest file that was extracted from the zip file.

Thank you so much for your help!!

Ok, Assuming you have a zip file with one folder containing all of the files:

Sub Unzip3()
'
'   Assuming your zip file only has 1 folder
'
    Dim FolderCount     As Long
    Dim FolderIndex     As Long
    Dim LargestFileSize As Long

    Dim FileNameFolder  As Variant
'
    Fname = Application.GetOpenFilename(filefilter:="Zip Files (*.zip), *.zip", MultiSelect:=False)
'
    If Fname = False Then
        Exit Sub
    Else
'       Root folder for the new folder.
'       You can also use DefPath = "C:\Apps\CipherRounds_1633694385.zip"
        DefPath = Application.DefaultFilePath
'
        If Right(DefPath, 1) <> "\" Then DefPath = DefPath & "\"
'
'       Create the folder name
        strDate = Format(Now, " dd-mm-yy h-mm-ss")

'       Extract the files into the newly created folder
        Set oApp = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
        oApp.Namespace(FileNameFolder).CopyHere oApp.Namespace(Fname).Items
'
'       If you want to extract only one file you can use this:

            FolderIndex = FolderIndex + 1
            arrFolders(FolderIndex) = objFolder.Name
        Next objFolder
'
        SubFolderName = arrFolders(FolderIndex) & "\"
    Else
        MsgBox "No folders found!", vbExclamation
    End If
'
    LargestFileSize = 0
'
    MyFile = Dir(FileNameFolder & SubFolderName & "*.*")
'
    If Len(MyFile) = 0 Then
        MsgBox "No files were found...", vbExclamation
        Exit Sub
    End If

''    Workbooks.Open FileNameFolder & LargestFile

Good morning John,

Thank you so much for your help!!

I worked.. put it keep asking me to select the zip folder path I want everything to run in the backend.

If the location and name of the zip file will not change then:

Add the following line to the Dim section at the top:

Dim DesiredZipFile As String

 

[johnnyL]

The zip folder name always change

Zip folder name or zip file name?

 

[mali10020]

Zip folder name or zip file name?

Both the zip folder name and the files name.. I'm so sorry about the confusing..
