Title: Unzip password protected file
Post by The Ginger Monkey on Jan 6^th, 2017 at 11:44am

Hi

is there any clever way of unzipping a password protected zip file? This is a regular task that uses the same password every time. Doesn't look to be anywhere in the unzip plugin but I may have missed something

Cheers
TGM

Yes :)
Use .bat-file plugin with a command line unzipper.
E.g. you can use 7zip and provide password in the script, something like
"c:\program files\7-zip\7z.exe" x "%WD_FILE%" -pPASSWORD

We will add password support for the Unzip task in the next release (soon, probably next week).
