Hi, I have a requirement where I need to unzip the input file. I used the command "unzip" in Execute Command activity.
eg: unzip /da/st/test.zip
I need all files in the zip to be unzipped in the same directory.. that means in the /da/st/ directory
Can anyone please help me to achieve this?
Thanks a lot for ur help.

Try with this
unzip /da/st/test.zip -d

What is "ur help"?
Ur was a city in ancient Babylonia. The second person personal pronoun in English is spelled "you" or, in possessive case, "your".

OK,
what happened? If there was an error, what was it?
As noted, the "-d" option specifies an output directory to extract everything to, however it needs to be followed by the desired directory. Otherwise I suspect it unzips it to the current working directory which I again suspect is the original issue.
Two examples, one with and one without the override:
Code: Select all
unzip /da/st/test.zip -d /da/st
cd /da/st && unzip test.zip
Either should work, I would wager.
