unzip(zipfile,dest)

Uses standard ZIP to unpack zip bundles.

Syntax

o_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

o_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.
