Extracting gzip file
Extracting gzip file
I'm am evaluating Robotask and wanted to automate downloading and unzipping gzip files. However, the extract displays an error that it is not a valid zip file. Does the process not support unzipping gzip archives??
Extracting gzip file
RoboTask supports only ZIP archives directly.
In order to pack or unpack files of another formats you have to use third party programs, like as "7-zip".

Extracting gzip file
I currently use Winrar. Can you give me an example on how I execute this using Robotask without any manual intervention? I have a few clicks to tell it to unpack and what folder to extract to. Can Robotask automate this for me? Thanks.

WinRAR have the command-line mode as most archivers.
When you use command-line mode you do not need to do interactive actions.
I recommend you to read the help file of WinRar topic "Command line mode", because WinRar have very many commands and keys
For example:
In order to extract all files from archive use
winrar x myfile.rar
in order to extract by mask
winrar x myfile.rar *.doc
etc.
In RoboTask you can use "Run program/Open document" action
Put into "Program or Document file name" field:
winrar.exe or winrar
Put the rest of command line into "Paramaters" field
x myfile.rar *.doc
