Hi Rajesh,


1.

Is there is any general way to extract without using 3rd party software?


TestComplete doesn't provide such functionality. However, you can do this using the built-in objects and methods of VBScript:



Sub Test

  'Specifies the location of the zip file. 

  ZipFile="D:\Test\Test.zip" 

  'Specifies the folder the contents should be extracted to. 

  ExtractTo="D:\Test\"  

  'If the extraction location does not exist, create it. 

  Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") 

  If NOT fso.FolderExists(ExtractTo) Then    

    fso.CreateFolder(ExtractTo) 

  End If  

  'Extract the contents of the zip file. 

  set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") 

  set FilesInZip=objShell.NameSpace(ZipFile).items 

  objShell.NameSpace(ExtractTo).CopyHere(FilesInZip) 

  Set fso = Nothing 

  Set objShell = Nothing

End Sub

Is there any way where we can encrypt this in script?


Try using the script provided in the following How To entry:
