Exctract files to a different folder

Question

On a Windows XP machine, I have a zip file located on "c:\temp\mydata\okidata.zip"; using 7-Zip application, I would like to write a batch script and extract the file silently to the following location "c:\printers\okidata". How should I write the syntax...

Thank-you greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

You can use 7-zip from the command line, as you suspect by using the following structure:

7z x "c:\temp\mydata\okidata.zip" -o:"C:\printers\okidata"

Where: x = extract (keeping paths), and -o: = output directory.
