7-Zip and unzipping from command line

Solution 1:

7z x example.zip -oexample

Usage: 7z <command> [<switches>...] <archive_name> [<file_names>...]
       [<@listfiles...>]

<Commands>
...
  x: eXtract files with full paths
<Switches>
...
  -o{Directory}: set Output directory

Edit:

7z x *.zip -o*

extracts all *.zip archives to subfolders with names of these archives.

Strangely, I had to go to the full help file to find this example; it isn't shown for 7z /?.

Solution 2:

The syntax would be: 7z x <path to>\duane.zip -oc:\duane

This will extract the content of the archive duane.zip to the folder c:\duane with full paths.

Note: There is NO space between the switch -o and the destination folder. If that folder does not exist, it will be created automatically.

Solution 3:

For p7zip:

7za e file.7z

Solution 4:

Recursively extract a single file, or a selective set of files from an archive into the current folder:

7za.exe e art.archive -ir!*Art.jpg
