But that requires that you know EXACTLY the name and path and it has to always be that. Otherwise as Glenn says it becomes much more complicated and you would need to do file cleanup and maybe even a folder of its own for each user/zip file you deal with - or work on them individually which could be a slow process, but safer as well.

Can it be done - YES - is it simple - NO but it can be done.
However it could take a lot of work and time debugging from someone that does understand KiX so you may need to learn KiX some more so that you can debug it or hope that someone here has the time to work with you on debugging it.


Yes, I reckoned this wouldn't be quite a walk in the park. Regarding kix, i have used it in rather simple ways, and therefore thought it would be smart to hear with you guru's to be pointed in the right direction instead of fumbling around by myself.

Glenn: thanks for the example, this seems quite stratight-forward. BUT, there's one thing: all the files from one zip extracted will need to be inserted another text than the next zip. The text to be inserted will be based on the name of the zip-file (the first to chars)

I am not sure of how complicated I will do this script, maybe I must accept that the organizing of the zips in advance is one way to do it, than with a script that is much simpler.
