If I choose a zip file and right click 'extract here' a folder with the zip filename is created and the entire content of the zip file is extracted into it.

- Checkdir Cannot Create Extraction Directory Unzip

However, I would like to convert several zip files via shell.But when I do
the folder
'filename'
is not created but all the files are extracted into the current directory.I have looked at the parameters but there is no such parameter.I also tried
but the
.zip
extension of the 2. $zipfile and 4. $zipfile have to be removed with sed.If I doit is not working.
How do I replace the
.zip
extension of $zipfile
properly?Is there an easier way than a shell script? Download half life 1 free.

'extract here' is merely a feature of whatever
unzip
wrapper you are using. unzip
will only extract what actually is in the archive. There is probably no simpler way than a shell script. But sed
, awk
etc. are not needed for this if you have a POSIX-compliant shell:(You MUST NOT escape the
PointedEars*
or pathname expansion will not take place.) Be aware that if the ZIP archive contains a directory, such as with Eclipse archives (which always contain eclipse/
), you would end up with ./eclipse*/eclipse/eclipse.ini
in any case. Add echo
before unzip
for a dry run.Cannot Create Directory Windows 10

unzip file.zip -d xxx
will extract files to directory xxx, and xxx will be created if it is not there. You can check the man page for details.The awk line below should do the job:

If you have p7zip, the command line version of 7zip installed, then you can use:

Add the folder name and slash after the switch, example:
zip will create the folder 'newfolder' and extract the archive into it.
Note that the trailing slash is not required but I guess it's just from old habit (I use Debian and Ubuntu).

aunpack
from atool will do this by default for all sorts of archives. kralykkralyk

If you receive a Windows cannot complete the extraction error when trying to extract the contents of a zipped compressed file o your Windows PC, followed by either – The destination file could not be created, The destination path is too long, or The compressed zipped folder is invalid message, then this post shows what you can do to get around it.
Windows cannot complete the extraction
If you receive this error while trying to compress a file, or extract the contents of a zipped file, using the built-in Windows File Explorer compression functionality, here are a few things you could try.
1] Restart your PC and try again,
2] Rename the file and then try to extract its contents.
3] Maybe the file location is protected so move the file and then try again. You could move the Zip file into one of your user profile folders, like Documents and then try to extract the files. If you are unable to move the file due to long path name, you may make use of the freeware Long Path Fixer Tool.
![Linux Linux](/uploads/1/2/3/7/123719369/356238824.png)
4] Perhaps the download has become corrupted. Download a fresh copy in another location and see if that helps you.
5] Perform a Clean Boot and see if you can complete the extraction. If you can, then maybe some 3rd-party process is interfering. In this case, you will have to manually troubleshoot and identify the offender.
6] Run the System File Checker. Maybe some system file has got corrupted. SFC will replace possible corrupted files with good ones.
7] If all fails, use a third-party free File Compression Software and use it to extract the contents of the zip file – or to compress files and folders.
Let us know if anything helped or if you have other ideas.

I'm using this command as part of a batch to extract the contents of a 7z file from one drive (D) to another (F). The folder structure is important so I'm using the

.What's actually happening is the contents are being decompressed into the batch file's directory working directory (

I'm using 7za.exe (command line version) but the same holds true for 7z.exe. Take a look at the help message carefully:
You see how it's clearly mentioned that the switches are
-o
and -w
? As in, there's a hyphen preceding the switches but not the commands. Also, the colon is not part of the switch itself. If it was, then you should have similarly used x:
instead of just x
for extracting with paths. Consequently, your weird usage of o:<Path>
and w:<Path>
is the reason for your headaches.Use something like this to compress a folder recursively and store relative paths:
Use the following to extract to a specific directory:
Obviously if your folder names have spaces in them use double quotes.

I’m trying to embed subtitles into an avi file using VirtualDub.
I have to create a folder called ‘virtualdub’ in ‘Cprogram file’ and then unzip the contents of the ‘virtualdub’ zip. I get “ACCESS DENIED” when I try. I can create the folder there, and extract the contents anywhere else on my hard drive, just not to Cprogram filevirtualdub.
I’m using Windows 7 64 bit. I’ve tried putting the zip file inside Cprogram filevirtualdub and extracting there. Can’t do that either.
If I right click on the zip file and select the security tab, I have ticks for all options except for ‘special permission’ for ‘system’, Rob(Rob-PCRob) and Administrators(Rob-PCRob).
I have tried yelling “You work for me!” at the computer, but it hasn’t made any difference. Does anyone have any ideas?
- Hello, I use virtualdub and virtualdubmod a lot. I have it running on windows 7 32 and 64 bits computers and also on vista and xp pro. You are trying to do your installation wrong. You do not have to create a folder for virtual dub on the Program Files folder. The main reason for this is that virtualdub does not need to be installed because it is a portable application..it needs to be executed/run. Everytime you need to use virtualdub, just double click on the executable file and virtualdub will open. These are the steps for using virtualdub-- download zip file
-- unzip file to C: drive (or any drive/folder you want)
-- when file is unzipped, it creates a folder named Virtualdub-1.8.1. The numbers refer to the the version of virtualdub you downloaded
-- navigate to the place where you extracted the folder
-- open the folder
-- double click on the VirtualDub.exe file
-- virtualdub opens and you are on your way.
-- if you have extra filters, you unzip the file and copy/paste the .vdf file to the plugins folder located inside the VirtualDub-1.8.1 folder.
-- to make it easier to access the program itself, pin it to the taskbar and you are set.With regards to creating folders on the Program Files folder, only programs installed on your computer will create folders there by default. Also, you do not need to be playing with permissions with regards to virtualdub, once you click on the executable you are on your way..unless you want to block other people from using it. Hope it helps,- Thanks for your help. So, ok i don't need to install it in a folder in program files. I was only following instructions from a tutorial which rather annoyingly, showed what he was doing as he did it and his 'extracted bits' clearly went into the folder he had created.
After trying to extract to my created folder in prog.files, and failing, i created a folder called virtualdub in C drive but outside of prog.files. I then created two folders inside that one. I called one virtualdub, and put the zip called 'virtualdub-1.9.11zip' file inside and extracted the parts in the folder. In the other folder, which i called 'plugins', i put the zip file called 'subtitler-2-4zip' inside and extracted it's bits.
I opened the video file and subtitles but could only get as far as the last stage. The stage where you can preview the final stage, but when i clicked on 'something' i'd get the message like 'can't find 'something'.exe in folder'. So i gave up, asked this question and uninstalled it all.
I've just reinstalled it with the subtitler folder inside the folder with the extracted virtualdub files.
Now, i click on File..open video file..(click on the avi file) and then ..open,
i get this message from virtualdub:'Couldn't locate decompressor format 'XVID' (unknown)
VirtualDub requires a Video for Windows (VFW) compatble codec to
decompress video DirectShow codecs, such as those used by Windows
Media Player, are not suitable.'
I'm sure i have only uninstalled the virtualdub and subtitler programs yesterday.It looks like somebody just extended the tunnel, of which i could see the light at the end of, by another mile or so..The video file is an avi which is set to play using vlc player as default, lke it was yesterday.
I really hate computers. They make me feel dumb and my head hurt!- Hello, if that is the error you are getting what you have to do is download the xvid codec and also it would be good to get the k-lite codec pack. The k-lite codec pack comes with all the codecs you need for VFW. Go to the following link and you can get the xvid and also k-lite codec pack
http://www.free-codecs.com/download/k_lite_codec_pack.htmAnother thing, you do not need to create the folders. Once you extract virtualdub it will create the folders for you. Just remember where you extracted the folder and navigate there. Open the extracted folder and you will find a plugins folder already there. Extract the subtitler-2-4zip folder and then open it. Copy the file with the extension .vdi to the plugins folder and that is it. Good luck- Hi,
I've just realised that i haven't mentioned that i am using DivXLand Subtitler 2.0.7
Have you been assuming i have or are you now shouting explitives at the monitor? The last stage where it all goes tits up is when i try to embed the subtitles and i'm then asked where the virtualdub.exe is. I asked one of the I.T. guys at work today about how to extract to the program file. I'd been checking the security tab on the zip files, he suggested checking it out on the folder i've created in the program file on my C drive. So i can now extract to my program file on my C drive. But it still doesn't create the plugins folder by itself. I have to do that. It doesn't matter where i create a folder and extract to, or let the zip file extract to it's own folder. Still no plugins folder inside. Divxland can't find the virtualdub.exe file no matter where i put it!
In your last attempt at curing me of stupidity, you say to 'Copy the file with the extension .vdi to the plugins folder'. Did you mean the 'Subtitler.vdf' file? I don't have a .vdi file in the subtitler-2-4zip folder, but i do in the virtualdub folder. Anyway, i've put a copy into both folders and it still doesn't work.
Are you using JUST virtualdub to add subtitles?
Can it be used to embed subtitles onto vodeo by itself?
When i've started it i can see how you import the video clip but i can't see how to import a subtitle file.
I thought this was going to SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooo easy as well :) - Hello, yes I meant to say the .vdf file..I am sorry about that. No, virtualdub does not add the subtitles by itself. You have to get the filters for it. If a remember correctly, there are a few choices for subtitles. Are you looking to add hardcoded subs on an .avi file to convert to dvd? or you just want to convert the .avi file to dvd with soft subtitles? If you just want to convert the .avi file to dvd with soft subtitles, there are easy ways to do it. The following is a link on how to add subtitles using virtualdub. This is the way that i have used in the past:
- Yes i have an avi video i want to embed some subtitles onto. You don't see anything unless the person isn't speaking english. After resisting the temptation to go and get a hammer and trash the computer, i have deleted everything and using your link downloaded everything it says to. Including the latest version of virtualdub, the experimental version.
Guess what? When i extracted it it ..wait for it..created it's own plugins folder!!!!!!
I got goose bumps!
So i went through the old procedure using divxland as i hadn't deleted that and i think it's working. Virtualdub is 32% of the way of doing something anyway :)
More shortly.. - Hello, it is good to hear, it is working now. Let me know if there is any other issues, maybe I can help.
- Hey, thanks so much for your help! I couldn't reply until now because i had to go into work earlier than planned, but yes, i have finally applied subtitles to a video!
THANK YOU!!
I was telling a colleague at work that i had finally done it. He really upset me by telling me that ConvertXtoDVD can do it. That's a program i've been using to convert all sorts to put onto a dvd to play in dvd players..I'll be checking that out next.
If he is right, i shall be VERY annoyed :) - Hello, your colleague is right...that is way in one of the comments I was asking you if you wanted to put hardcoded subs or softcoded subs on dvd. With convertxtodvd you can do that easily as long as the subtitles and the video file have the same name and are located on same folder. It works pretty well and as long as the subtitle track is on sync there should not be any problems as long as the program can read the subtitle extension. The difference between using virtualdub and convertx is that, with virtualdub you insert hardcoded subs and convertx you insert softcoded subs. Do not be annoyed, just remember that you learned to do something new..
- Hey, thanks for your feedback and glad it worked out for you after all. :)
- Program Files directory is a protected sensitive directory. This is a security feature of Windows 7 to prevent unauthorized tampering of files.Instead, extract the files to your desktop and copy them to the directory you want them to be in.
- Thanks for your help. But i tried that, and when i tried to use virtualdub, it couldn't find a file which, was plainly in the folder :(
Zip files can be used for a lot different things. File compression, encryption, split archives, and more are all just a few clicks away once you understand the different things that zip archives are capable of.

What Are Zip Files?
Think of the way a folder works in Windows. You drop contents into a folder to organize your files, and then you can transport that folder to any location on your computer, and the files inside of it go with it. Zip files work in a similar way, except the contents inside the “folder” (zip file) are compressed to reduce storage use.

What if you have a folder that contains 20 files, and need to email it to someone? Well, you can’t email a folder to someone, so you’d have to email the 20 individual files. That’s where zip files become really useful, because you can “zip up” those 20 files into a single zip archive, and then email it. Along with the convenience of having all those files in a single zip archive, they’ll also be compressed to reduce storage and make transmitting them across the internet that much easier.
This is where the definition of a zip file ends for most people. What you may not realize is that you can do much more than just compress and combine files with zip archives.
How to Zip and Unzip Files
Before we get to the more complicated topics, let’s go back to our example and show how we would zip those 20 files that we need to email, and then show how the receiving user would unzip them. Windows has the ability to zip and unzip files without any extra software, so don’t download any programs just to create basic archives or to unzip them.
To create a zip file, right-click in a blank area on your desktop or in explorer, go to new, and select Compressed (zipped) Folder.
You’ll notice the process is similar to creating a new folder, as you can now rename the zip folder and move it around to different locations on your computer. With the zip file created, just select and drag your files into the zip folder.
As you can see in the screenshot, the files are copied into the zip folder, and not moved or deleted from their original location. Now, you can transfer, backup, or do whatever else you want with your zipped contents.
Another way to quickly zip some files is to highlight them, right-click and hit Send to > Compressed (zipped) folder.
The easiest way to unzip a file is to right-click on it and press Extract All.
A new window will open up and you can select where you want the files to be extracted. By default, it will extract the contents to the same directory in which your zip file resides. Just hit extract and a folder will be created that has all of the zipped files in it.
The Advanced Features
Windows can easily zip and unzip files, but you’ll need a third party application to do anything more than that. There are a bunch of programs out there that offer additional functions for zip files, but one of the most lightweight, feature-packed, and efficient is 7-Zip.
7-Zip is a free file archiver for Windows that comes with all the options that you should ever need for zip files. Click that link to be taken to their website and download the latest version of the program. Installation is straightforward, just accept the license agreement and click next until 7-Zip is installed.
After that, you should be able to highlight files, right-click them, and add them to a zip archive with 7-Zip.
When you click “Add to archive” you’ll be presented with a bunch of options. Let’s go through what each of these mean, and why they could come in handy.
Zip File Encryption
This would be useful when you don’t want someone without the proper authentication to see the files in your zip archive. Remember to use a strong password, so brute force and dictionary attacks become useless.
ZipCrypto vs. AES-256 – If you choose to create a zip file (as opposed to 7z), you’ll get to choose between ZipCrypto and AES-256 encryption. ZipCrypto is weak but has fewer compatibility issues. AES-256 is much stronger but only works with newer systems (or with those that have 7-Zip installed). Try to choose AES-256 when possible.
Encrypting file names – Sometimes file names can be just as important as the contents inside of a file. Other times, maybe not. If you need to encrypt your file names, so it’s impossible for someone to see what kind of files are in your archive, you will need to use the 7z file extension instead of zip.
This can be a problem, because you need 7-Zip to open 7z files, and what if the receiving user doesn’t have 7-Zip? That problem can be solved by creating a self-extracting archive, giving you the best of both worlds. If, for some reason, you NEED to use a .zip extension, and you NEED file encryption, you’ll just have to settle for non-encrypted filenames.
If you do use the 7z archive format, the “Encrypt file names” checkbox will appear:
Self-Extracting Archives (SFX)
A self-extracting archive is nothing more than a usual zip file, but with an .exe file extension. Executing the file will automatically start the extraction process.
Advantages – There are two big advantages to self-extracting archives. First, you can utilize the .7z file extension feature of encrypting file names. Second, the receiving user doesn’t need any special software to open the archive. Double-click the .exe, click extract, and you’re done unzipping the files.
Disadvantages – People won’t be too anxious to open up an executable email attachment. If you’re using 7-Zip to archive some files and send them to a person you don’t know very well, they might be weary of opening the file, and their anti-virus may even issue a warning. Other than that little caveat, self-extracting archives are great.
Splitting Archives to Volumes
Say you have a 1GB file, and want to put it on two CDs. A CD can hold 700MB of data, so you would need two discs. But, how do you split up your file so it can fit on to those two discs? With 7-Zip, that’s how.
You can choose from the common values as listed above, or enter your own custom size that you’d like the volumes split into. Note that you cannot create a self-extracting archive if you choose to split your archive like this. Encryption, however, is still possible. Also note that Windows isn’t able to open split archives, so you’ll need 7-Zip or another capable program to open them up.
To open a split archive, all of the pieces must be in the same location. Then, just open up the first file, 7-Zip (or whatever application you’re using) will seamlessly combine them, and then extract the files for you.
Better Compression
Another reason you may choose to use 7-Zip instead of the built-in utility is for the better compression rate.
Going above “normal” can make the process take significantly longer, particularly for a big group of files and slower CPUs. You also won’t save a considerable amount of space, so it will usually just be best to keep the compression level on normal. However, sometimes those few extra megabytes are a big deal, so keep this option in mind for times like those.
