Has anyone seen a DSTX map that can unzip a compressed file that contains multiples files with unique date time stamps. In this case one would not know the names of the files.
 
Scan this forum as well as IBM WTX forum. Seems like I asked this question a while back but never needed to use the suggestions.

Seems like janhess or Olly described a way to examine a zip file for contents then using that data to unzip each file as needed.

In my impatients I tested using a map to execute a batch file that unzipped a file like you described in an event folder. An event then watched that folder and processed any thing appearing. In the end I convinced the sender to produce a zip file with the compessed files name.
