Extracting files from zip files (or tar and tar.gz)

bobpeers

Extracting files from zipped archives is supported in Alteryx but it's not particularly flexible. This SDK tool allows you to extract all the files from zip files, tar archives and tar.gz archives (Linux support, woohoo) into a given folder and optionally overwrite.

An example of using the tool is shown here.

Grab the yxi installer from my Github site: https://github.com/bobpeers/Alteryx_SDK_Zip

Hi @bobpeers,

Thanks for sharing your tool!

In case you would like some feedback for a future version, I believe that following features could be useful:

- Give the option to create the output folder if it doesn't exist

- Pass output folder as a field, like the source file

- Add a message to mention that file format is not supported 

- Add YXI and YXZP as supported formats (zip) 😉

Thanks again,

PaulN
