Extract a single file from a zip

Anonymous — Wed, 22 May 2019 11:50:07 GMT

Hello,

I have a job that uncompress zip files (via tFileUnarchive) and then process the uncompressed xml files.
In each zip file I have about 30000 xml.

I would like to unzip only some of the contained xml, based on the xml file name.

Is there a possibility (without tSystem) ? Maybe am I missing something about xml/zip file manipulation through Talend.

Thank you in advance,

Hi,

If you are using tFileUnarchive component, you will not be able to selectively uncompress the components inside a zip file. It will unzip all the components for the zip file.

So after uncompressing, you can select the files you need and proceed further.

Thank you Nikhil

So there is no possibility without a dirty tSystem

In my case, i'm trying to avoid full unzip, it takes 2 min per zip with my i7gen8+nvmeSSD and I have hundreds of zip files.

No other alternative component for unarchive ? (if not i'll set to resolved and update the topic title)

@alih

Unfortunately there are no other components available to do the selective uncompression of files.

Unfortunately, I will disappoint you, but there is no such solution.

I was looking for a solution on the Internet and did not find it. I also needed to get 2 essay files from a zip file, which I ordered from Familyessay and which sent me a zip file with a large number of papers that I ordered. I had to get all the files, then delete the extra ones and use the necessary files.

Good luck to you.

I'll try to post the tsystem way once I've set it up.
