Implication of new configuration variable config_unzip_opts

Latest CVS code introduces another configuration variable config_unzip_opts, that enables user to use command line unzipping programs other than unzip as well.

A command line unzipping program that can silently extract single file from zip archive to console/standard output/pipe, is a mandatory requirement apart from Perl, for using docx2txt.

Some known programs that serve the purpose are listed below. You may explore Internet for more such programs.

Unzipping Program Relevant Command/Options
unzip (Windows port) -p
7z e -so -tzip
pkzipc -console -silent -translate=none -noarchiveextension
wzunzip -c
CakeCmd Current Status Not Known
  • unzip and 7z are available on many non-Windows systems by default.
  • CakeCmd no longer seems to be available at the site.
