I am using 7zip command line in a batch file to extract zip files to folders of the same name as the zip file and output the folders to a destination directory: I've tried a few variations without success including 

7za x "%directory_destination%*.zip" -o%directory_destination%\%date%*"

7za x "%directory_destination%\*.zip" -o%directory_destination%\*"

I am having trouble including the current %date% and %time% in the folder name of the extracted zip file.

For example, the contents of a zip file called abc.zip should be extracted to a folder called abc_18.10.14_7.34 etc.

  • %date% isnt in your code so no wonder it isnt working, please provide your current working command line. – Toby Allen Oct 18 '14 at 09:00

  • Hi user3785396 you need to supply more information – Toby Allen Oct 18 '14 at 09:30
  • Hi Toby I understand how to format date / time variables as I use them in batch files (see below) but I don’t understand how to apply it to: 7za x "%directory_destination%\*.zip" -o%directory_destination%\*" Date / Time Variables: rem set month=%date:~7,2% rem set yearlong=%date:~-4% rem set hour=%time:~0,2% rem set minute=%time:~3,2% rem set second=%time:~6,2% rem %yearlong%.%month% %hour%.%minute%.%second% – georgemackenzie Oct 18 '14 at 09:40

Test this on some sample files:

@echo off
for /f "tokens=2 delims==" %%a in ('wmic OS Get localdatetime /value') do set "dt=%%a"
set "YY=%dt:~2,2%" & set "YYYY=%dt:~0,4%" & set "MM=%dt:~4,2%" & set "DD=%dt:~6,2%"
set "HH=%dt:~8,2%" & set "Min=%dt:~10,2%" & set "Sec=%dt:~12,2%"

cd /d "c:\folder with zip files\"
set "directory_destination=c:\target\folder"
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir *.zip /b /a-d ') do (
   md "%directory_destination%\%%~na_%dd%.%mm%.%yyyy%_%hh%.%min%%%~xa" 2>nul
   7za x "%%a" -o"%directory_destination%\%%~na_%dd%.%mm%.%yyyy%_%hh%.%min%%%~xa"
)
