unzip(zipfile,dest)

Uses standard ZIP to unpack zip bundles.

Syntax

unzip(zipfile,dest)

zipfile: scalar Text - zip file that is to be unpacked

dest: scalar Text - directory into which the zip file should be unpacked

return: none

Usage

This uses the standard ZIP specification to unpack a zip file into the contained set of files and directories into a single package. Zip is a long time industry standard and is universally available.

Location

menu: veeos ==> system ==> unzip

library: sysLib

Example

unzip("C:\temp\veebackups.zip" , "C:\temp\" ) unpacks all of  veebackups.zip into the directory C:\temp.

Notes

This function uses the present working directory as a reference so absolute paths are generally needed. Note that as with any unpackaging it is possible for this to inadvertently overwrite existing files. Hence be careful what you specify.
