x (Extract with full paths) command

Extracts files from an archive with their full paths in the current directory, or in an output directory if specified.

See the e (Extract) command description for more details.

Examples

7z x archive.zip

extracts all files from the archive archive.zip to the current directory.

7z x archive.zip -oc:\soft *.cpp -r

extracts all *.cpp files from the archive archive.zip to c:\soft folder.

Notes

7-Zip doesn't uses the system wildcard parser. 7-Zip doesn't follow the archaic rule by which *.* means any file. 7-Zip treats *.* as matching the name of any file that has an extension. To process all files, you must use a * wildcard.

-ai (Include archives)
-an (Disable parsing of archive_name)
-ao (Overwrite mode)
-ax (Exclude archives)
-i (Include)
-o (Set Output Directory)
-p (Set Password)
