Options

Option Description

Workflow action name

The name of the workflow action.

Source files

You can specify the list of source (zip) files in this section

  • Get args from previous : check this option if you want to use the list of result files (from a previous workflow action) as the list of files to unzip.

  • Zip file name : the name of the zip file or a folder if you want to use a wildcard.

  • Source wildcard : if the previous option is a folder, you can enter a regular expression. wildcard here.

    • For example to match "/folder/test.zip" a regex of "te.\.zip" will come up empty. Use ".te.\.zip" instead to account for the folders ahead of it.* For Windows file paths, the direction of the slashes will be reversed in the match, so use "\/" instead of "\\".

Unzipped files

This section allows us to specify what to do with the unzipped files

  • Use zipfile name as root directory : check this if you want to create a separate directory for each zip filename (same name as file)

  • Target directory : the target directory to unzip in

  • Create folder : check this if you want to create the target folder

  • Include wildcard : use this regular expression to select the files in the zip archives to extract

  • Exclude wildcard : use this regular expression to select the files in the zip archives to extract

  • Include date in filename : Include the current date in the unzipped filenames (format yyyyMMdd)

  • Include time in filename : Include the time (format HHmmss)

  • Specify the date time format yourself: allows you to specify the date time format yourself (default is: yyyyMMdd'_'HHmmss)

  • If files exists : select the action to take if the target (unzipped) file exists: skip, overwrite, etc.

  • After extraction : select the action to take after zip file extraction: Do nothing, Delete files, Move files

  • Move files to : if the previous option is "Move files", you can select the target directory here.

Advanced

  • Add extracted file to result: add the extracted file names to the list of result files of this workflow action for use in the next workflow actions.

  • Success condition: allows you to specify the success factor of this workflow action: when everything went well or if there were only X errors or if there were at least Y files extracted.
