Hi @Pravallika20, just drag and drop the zip file into Alteryx. It should pop up a new window asking to select the file name and how to parse that file. Select CSV.

Then on the input data tool change the delimiter to |, it's on line 9.

Hi @Pravallika20, if you have multiple folders within the zip it is going to show you all those folder when you drag the file into Alteryx.
