zipe

zipe is a handy zip utility that helps with cross file name encoding, and it's powered by Python! If you ever find yourself needing help while using it, just check the command line for assistance. You can run zipe -h to see what options are available.

Using zipe: Basic Commands

The basic usage of zipe looks like this:

zipe [-h] [-F ENCODING] -T ENCODING [-r] [-x EXCLUDE | -i INCLUDE] ZIP_FILE ENTRY [ENTRY ...]

Understanding Arguments

Positional Arguments:

• ZIP_FILE: This is where you'll specify the ZIP archive you want to work with.


• ENTRY: Here, you can mention specific file entries in the archive that you'd like to extract.

Optional Arguments

You also have some optional arguments that can make your life easier:

• -h, --help: Shows the help message and exits.


• -F ENCODING, --from ENCODING: Use this to specify the filename encoding from (it defaults to your system's encoding).


• -T ENCODING, --to ENCODING: This lets you set the filename encoding to whatever you need.


• --r, --recursive: Archives files recursively.


• -x EXCLUDE, --exclude EXCLUDE: Exclude certain file patterns using regex.


• -I INCLUDE, --include INCLUDE: Include specific file patterns using regex.

If You Need to Unzip!

If you're looking to unzip files instead, there's a command for that too! Just use unzipe -h. Here's how it works:

This is how you use unzipe: unzipe [-h] [-l] [-P PASSWORD] [--force] -F ENCODING [-T ENCODING] ZIP_FILE [ENTRY [ENTRY ...]]

Your Unzip Options!

• -l, --list:  Lists the entries instead of extracting them.


• -P PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD:  Enter a password if your file is encrypted.


• --force:  Extracts even if it's an absolute path issue.
