Extracting a zip, sometimes parent and child folders with same name

[Terka]

hi,
if i extract a zip file, sometimes it has a folder in the archive, sometimes not.
After extract the structure can look like:
\pictures\pictures\001.jpg
\pictures\pictures\002.jpg
can i somehow identify such
parent and child folders with same name
and simplify the structure to:
\pictures\001.jpg
\pictures\002.jpg
Thank you!
PS: is there a way to automatically prevent these duplicates while extracting?

I don't know of any way to do this with TC. WinRAR has an option in Paths > [X] Remove redundant folders from extraction path. 7-zip seems to have a similar option 7-Zip > Eliminate duplication of root folder.

Not sure if these can help, but I guess you can find out .

Hm. I didn't know that in 2014 -spe was added to 7-zip. Works:

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
%COMMANDER_PATH%\Utils\7-Zip\7zG.exe x
%N -o"%O" -spe
wcmicons.dll,31
Unpack the archive into a folder without|duplicating a single folder with the same name
