Zip Archive Information Action, when performed, reads various information into Variable Wizard values. These dynamic values can be used by any following Action (instead of fixed values) to tailor its operations in response to actual situation.

VariableDetails
Archive name Returns the archive file name with full path.
Example:
  • C:\Documents and Slides\backup\2412.zip
List of zipped files Returns the list of files and folders (also empty ones) contained in the archive.
Example:
  • 001.pdf|bck1\101.pdf|bck2\201.pdf|bck3\
Number of files Returns the number of files the archive contains.
Example:
  • 4
Compressed size Returns the size (bytes) of all files in .zip archive after compression.
Example:
  • 268551
Uncompressed size Returns the total size (bytes) of all files in .zip archive before compression.
Example:
  • 2086643
Compression ratio Returns the ratio between the compressed size and the uncompressed size of files in percentage value with two decimal places. For example, if the total uncompressed size of all documents is 2,000KB, and the size of the same documents in archive is 500KB, the returned compression ratio value is 25.00 (percent of the original file size).
Example:
  • 12.87
Completion statusRetrieve Action execution status with a possible value—Successful or Failed. Or Empty, if Action has not been executed yet.
Adjust*Streamline creation of Task workflows even further—instantly make quick variable adjustments such as in-place replacement (all, first, or last occurrence), trimming (whitespaces, quotes, etc.), or changing capitalization. Optionally, set a different display name.

Automatic list processing…

The Zip Archive Information variables returned as lists (even multi-level) can be automatically processed in further Actions. Use the For Each Action to parse a given text string (any list variable) and sequentially retrieve its elements one by one · see list processing examples. Or, use the Split Text and Lookup Text Actions to access list elements by their indices.

How automation works? A 90-second journey.
