Filter when extracting from a zip?

Help & Support
1

I tried this..

copy test.zip extract filter somefilespec

..but the whole test archive was extracted to the target folder. I'd like to be able to select specific files/folders. Is it possible to filter when copying from a zip?

You don't need the EXTRACT argument, just use a command like copy c:\test.zip* to d:\blah filter filtername (i.e. just treat the archive like it's a folder).

test.zip contains 3 files.

[ol][li]test.txt[/li][li]test.png[/li][li]test.doc[/li][/ol]
Copy c:\somepath\test.zip* FILTER *.txt copies all three of them.

If I create and save a TextOnly filter, then..

Copy c:\somepath\test.zip* FILTER TextOnly copies just the text file.

According to the help file, I should be able to use a simple filter rather than a saved filter.

[quote]You can also directly specify a simple wildcard pattern

Example: Copy FILTER *.(jpg|png)[/quote]

Copy c:\somepath\test.zip*.txt should be all you need, I think.
