I am trying to automate unzipping a zip file and extracting the files to a new folder location. I have scoured a bunch of sources and found code that will unzip the folder but it won't actually remove the files inside and put them in the new location, it just copies the zip folder and pastes it to the new location with the password removed. I want it to extract the files inside, and place them in the new folder. Thanks in advance for any help. Here is my code:
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
Dim sPathTo7ZipExe As String
Dim sZipPassword As String
sPathTo7ZipExe = "C:\Riley\7Zip\7za.exe" ' <-- change this to where you installed the 7zip command line program
sZipPassword = "password" ' <-- change this to your zip password
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:\Users\Ron\test\"
'DefPath = Application.DefaultFilePath
DefPath = "C:\Riley\Visual Basic\" ' <-- make sure your path here ends in a \. you were missing that before
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
Shell sPathTo7ZipExe & " x -y -p" & sZipPassword & " -o""" & _
FileNameFolder & """ """ & Fname, vbHide
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
End Sub
