 |

Not really off-topic as I'm sure someone here has been in this situation. Do any of you guys know a quick and easy way I can convert 1500 odd files from .7z format to .zip? Cheers for any help.

if on windows install cygwin from cygwin.com selecting the ZIP option in the archive menu, or just use bash on linux replacing EXTENSIONHERE with the extension of the files in the 7z archives. Install 7zip of course and put 7z in path. Then:
| Code: |
bash
mkdir tmp
for a in *.7z; do
7z e -otmp "$a"
done
cd tmp
for a in *; do
zip -m ../"`echo $a|sed s/.EXTENSIONHERE$//`".zip "$a"
done
cd ..
rmdir tmp

Or use cmd and run:
| Code: |
| for %f in (*.7z) do @(echo converting %f... & ren %f %~nf.zip) |
replacing the rename command with the sequence of commands required to do the conversion, of course.
Just tried it with Windows 2000 and it works.
It should be the same or similiar for XP/2003. |
