I have a script that looks in a destination folder and unzips files to a new folder. All works perfect as long as the zip contains just one file; anymore and I only seem to unzip the first file.
Im pretty sure the line that's causing this is which is picking the first record in the array of files however I am not quite skilful enough to figure out how to get around this. Any help would be greatly appreciated
[var newDriveFile = DestinationFolder.createFile(unZippedfile[0]);]
//Unzips all ZIP files in the folder
function Unzip() {
//Add folder ID to select the folder where zipped files are placed
var SourceFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById("14vRNV3FZJicplxeurycsfBHmETrUQBex")
//Add folder ID to save the where unzipped files to be placed
var DestinationFolder = DriveApp.getFolderById("1OJXkPrUqcqapsv366oCV_ZsvaECstKTn")
//Select the Zip files from source folder using the Mimetype of ZIP
var ZIPFiles = SourceFolder.getFilesByType(MimeType.ZIP)
//var ZIPFiles = SourceFolder.getFilesByName('MTTR.zip')
//Loop over all the Zip files
while (ZIPFiles.hasNext()){
// Get the blob of all the zip files one by one
var fileBlob = ZIPFiles.next().getBlob();
//Use the Utilities Class to unzip the blob
var unZippedfile = Utilities.unzip(fileBlob);
//Unzip the file and save it on destination folder
var newDriveFile = DestinationFolder.createFile(unZippedfile[0]); //I think this line is where my issue is
}
Logger.log("Finished Unzipping files")
}
CodePudding user response:
As what Rodrigo mentioned in the comments, you need to loop it on all the files. unZippedfile.length
is the number of files in the zip file. Use a loop around the createFile
method.
Code:
// loop to all zip files
while (ZIPFiles.hasNext()){
var fileBlob = ZIPFiles.next().getBlob();
var unZippedfile = Utilities.unzip(fileBlob);
// loop to all items inside the current zip file
for (i=0; i<unZippedfile.length; i ) {
var newDriveFile = DestinationFolder.createFile(unZippedfile[i]);
}
}
Output:
Note:
- Sample output above show the unzipped files on the same directory as I instantiated both source and destination with the same directory ID.
