Is there a way to extract a specific subfolder (without the full path structure) from a zip?



My Zip (A.zip):



A
---B
----C/files


I've tried this until now:



(unzip <target-zip-file> '<folder-to-extract/*>' -d <destination-path>)

unzip A.zip 'A/B/*' -d ~/


without any success. I get the same output as just doing the unzip A.zip -d ~/



I want to have only B/C/files not A/B/C/files as folders.



Extra: I know it exists an -j option, but this just removes the subfolder structure.



Or that I can move them afterwards, but that's not my goal here.



Links: unzip to folder

  • so the answer is that it cannot be done directly? (only with the extra function)
