Description Alin Dreghiciu CLA 2010-03-31 01:17:14 EDT 
Build Identifier: 

In my use cases I must be able to unzip a (sub)directory from a zip archive and consider that subdirectory as it it was the root of the zip. THis means that for a zip with the following structure:

|-a.txtx
|-foo/
    |-b.txt
    |-bar/
        |-car/
            |-c.txt

I should be able to specify the path I want to unzip. For example:

1. I want "foo". This results in a directory structure in target folder:
|-b.txt
|-bar/
    |-car/
        |-c.txt

2. I want "foo/bar". This results in a directory structure in target folder:
|-car/
    |-c.txt

3. I want "**/bar" = any bar subdirectory. This results in a directory structure in target folder:
|-car/
    |-c.txt

I propose that a new optional parameter to be added named "path". When present wil behave as above, when not present current behavior is used.


Reproducible: Always
