Read Fragmented Zip Files

[Tanai_Goncalves]

Hello,

I'm in a challenge to read a ZIP file, that is fragmented in several parts.

It's a Big txt file (~300GB).

What would be the best way to read this?

I'm trying to use a batch Macro with Run Command and 7zip.

But I would like to know if there could be other alternatives?

Thanks in advance.

Hi @Tanai_Goncalves 

The problem is that Alteryx doesn't seem to directly import .7z files.  The only similar supported formats are the original zip format (.zip), and the GZip formats. (.gz and  .tgz.)  I think you'll have to go the Run command route to invoke 7zip.exe and then read the resultant extracted files

As a test I also created a fragmented zip file.  Alteryx can't read the individual pieces of that either, though it has no problems with the single archive.
