How to extract a zip file and Can we hide the password that we enter in script ?

You'll need an external tool like 7-Zip to handle password-protected files, because Windows doesn't have built-in scripting functionality for that. 7-Zip has a standalone command-line version that you can store along with your test assets, or on a shared network drive.



The 7za unzipping syntax is:

7za.exe x archive.zip -oOutDir -pPassword

You can script it like this:

// JScript

function Test()

{

  var strArc = "C:\\MyFile.zip";

  var strPassword = "password";

  var strOutDir = "C:\\MyFolder";



  var exitCode = UnzipWithPassword(strArc, strOutDir, strPassword);

  if (res != 0)

    Log.Error("An error occurred while unpacking. Exit code " + res);

}



function UnzipWithPassword(ArchiveFileName, OutputDir, Password)

{

  var str7za = "C:\\Work\\7za.exe"; // Replace with your 7za path

  var oShell = Sys.OleObject("WScript.Shell");



  var strCommand = aqString.Format("\"%s\" x \"%s\" -o\"%s\" -p\"%s\"", str7za, ArchiveFileName, OutputDir, Password);

  return oShell.Run(strCommand, 0, true);

}
