Extract files from ZIP file with VBScript
- by Tester101
When extracting files from a ZIP file I was using the following.
Sub Unzip(strFile)
' This routine unzips a file. NOTE: The files are extracted to a folder '
' in the same location using the name of the file minus the extension. '
' EX. C:\Test.zip will be extracted to C:\Test '
'strFile (String) = Full path and filename of the file to be unzipped. '
Dim arrFile
arrFile = Split(strFile, ".")
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fso.CreateFolder(arrFile(0) & "\ ")
pathToZipFile= arrFile(0) & ".zip"
extractTo= arrFile(0) & "\ "
set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
set filesInzip=objShell.NameSpace(pathToZipFile).items
objShell.NameSpace(extractTo).CopyHere(filesInzip)
fso.DeleteFile pathToZipFile, True
Set fso = Nothing
Set objShell = Nothing
End Sub 'Unzip
This was working, but now I get a "The File Exists" Error.
What is the reason for this? Are there any alternatives?
