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

I guess I am confused how you expect the script to run by itself if the locations and names will be changing.

I guess I am confused how you expect the script to run by itself if the locations and names will be changing.

The location does not change just the name of the folder chnage

The location does not change just the name of the folder chnage

I can't wrap my head around that logic

Perhaps if you give some example folder locations where the zip file might be located I may be able to come up with something for you.

example: C:\Users\Desktop\Temp
C:\Users\Desktop\Perm
etc.

Will there be more than one zip file in the folder?

Examples of possible zip file names?

Good afternoon John,

The location does not change.

The Zip folder and the files names always change
The folder inside the zip folder the name does not change
Will there be more than one zip file in the folder? The files are not copressed just the folder.

Try this:

Sub Unzip4()

'   Assuming your zip file only has 1 folder

    Fname = ZipFilePath & ZipFileName

        For Each objFolder In objFolders
            FolderIndex = FolderIndex + 1
            arrFolders(FolderIndex) = objFolder.Name
        Next objFolder
'
        SubFolderName = arrFolders(FolderIndex) & "\"
    Else
        MsgBox "No folders found!", vbExclamation

'
    LargestFileSize = 0

    MyFile = Dir(FileNameFolder & SubFolderName & "*.*")
'
    If Len(MyFile) = 0 Then
        MsgBox "No files were found...", vbExclamation
        Exit Sub
    End If
'
    Do While Len(MyFile) > 0
        If FileLen(SubFolderName & MyFile) >= LargestFileSize Then
            LargestFile = MyFile
            LargestFileSize = FileLen(SubFolderName & 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 SubFolderName & LargestFile                                                              ' Open the largest file
End Sub

You only need to set the path to the zip file.

@mali10020 why are you reposting code for Unzip3?

You already said Unzip4 worked for you.

 

[mali10020]

@johnnyL They change the report the files are not compress only the folder.

for some reason the unzip3 only worked with 1 pacific folder.. not sure why


Thanks!
