This reader produces an FME feature for each file and/or folder contained in the archive.
Note This reader is most useful when combined with transformers that operate on pathnames to trigger external translations or other events. It is not intended to be used as part of a true translation.
The feature produced contains the pathname, the folder, and the basename of the file or folder relative to the archive root, which can then be used by any transformers to operate on pathnames. The feature also optionally includes file metadata including unpacked size.
Reader Overview
The reader dataset is a file, and the Path Filter parameter allows glob patterns for either selecting a specific set of files or folders within the reader dataset archive.
Recursive searches can be performed on nested subfolders to find either files or folders by setting the Recurse Into Subfolders parameter to Yes.
See Archive (ZIP) Reader Parameters for detailed information and examples.
Note Paths from this reader are relative to the archive root. The archive file should be used for file extraction.
