Input Data Tool - Passing the name of which file if using an archive format

jackchoy

For Input Data, I frequently use the "Output File Name as Field" option to tag which flat file I'm using.

If I use a zip or other archive file, is there a way to pass not just the name of the .zip file, but the actual file within the zip file that I'm using?

Hi @jackchoy 

I'm assuming your using 'File Name Only' option? If you change it to 'Full Path' you should get the zip file name and the File your extracting:

You could then parse out the names you need.
