open self-extracting zip AND provide the password
open self-extracting zip AND provide the password
(OP)
Hi all,
I'm writing an automation that includes unzipping a self-excecutable zip file which has password protection. I need to start the decompression and then feed in the password.
I need to use java or perl to do this. The only things I've found so far use tcl/tk or assembler (for Pet's sake).
I'd appreciate any ideas or links.

The execution of the self-extracting zip file is not the problem. The password cannot be fed to the file. I haven't been able to find an argument for it (ie. selfExtractFile.zip -pw=password) and I don't know how to communicate to the process once it's started.
