Caution: In this restricted "Fossies" environment the current HTML page may not be correctly presentated and may have some non-functional links. Alternatively you can here view or download the uninterpreted source code.

x (Extract with full paths) command

Extracts files from an archive with their full paths in the current directory, or in an output directory if specified.

See the e (Extract) command description for more details.

Examples

7z x archive.zip

extracts all files from the archive archive.zip to the current directory.

7z x archive.zip -oc:\soft *.cpp -r

extracts all *.cpp files from the archive archive.zip to c:\soft folder.

Notes

7-Zip doesn't uses the system wildcard parser. 7-Zip doesn't follow the archaic rule by which *.* means any file. 7-Zip treats *.* as matching the name of any file that has an extension. To process all files, you must use a * wildcard.
