Nested zip files
I've got a vendor who is producing a zip file that has other compressed folders/zip files contained within it. The person who is the recipient of the files wants ALL of the .zip files unpackaged, but I'm struggling to find a way to get the "nested" zip files uncompressed. I get the main file uncompressed just fine, but it just places the nested .zip files out in the destination folder. I'm beginning to think it may be a two-task process.... get the main .zip from the remote site, expand it out, then kick off a second task to then hit the internal folder and unzip those files that were contained within. Can anyone think of a way to do that it one task?
Hmmm...try writing it as an advanced task which does the download and unzip, then add a loop with a new download of the unzipped files and another unzip operation.
Not tried this though.
