We often need to deflate the jars to check some property, xml or other content files that are a part of a jar or any archive files.
We can use jar command to extract any specific file out of a jar file
But the above command will extract only one file per command.
But if we want to extract all the property files or cllass files like *.class or *.properties then it will not work.
For that use this utility: unzip command prompt
Usage :
We can use jar command to extract any specific file out of a jar file
jar -xvf abc.jar myclass.java
But the above command will extract only one file per command.
But if we want to extract all the property files or cllass files like *.class or *.properties then it will not work.
For that use this utility: unzip command prompt
Usage :
- Download the unxip.exe
- Add it to classpath
unzip -jo MyZipFilw.zip *.xml -d XML
It will extract all the xml files to a new folder created called XML.
If there are multiple archive file (zip/jar etc) you can create a list of them with absolute path and pass it as argument like :
for /f%d IN (C:/Mypath/ZIPList.txt) Do unzip -jo %d *.xml XMLFolder
Content of ZIPList.txt
<path to zip>/a.zip
<path to zip>/b.zip
.....
