Decompress Files

This node supports the path flow variable to specify the source and destination location. To convert the created path column to a string column which is required by some nodes that have not been migrated yet you can use the Path to String node. For further information about file handling in general see the File Handling Guide.

This node unpacks and decompresses files from archives. The path to the extracted files will be contained in the output table.

Supported formats are:

  • .zip
  • .jar
  • .tar
  • .tar.gz
  • .tar.bz2
  • .cpio
  • .ar
