> Consider it done, i have a new .py file saved as 'unzip_twice.py' but it would be easier (the whole purpose of this task) is to have a stand alone script that would work without having to open up the shell. In ArcGIS, I call the script by double clicking on my tool, selecting the .zip in a GUI and it runs, extracting the first zipfile, but hangs on the next, supposedly because of 'permissions' but 'permissions' were not really an issue. I think it's the "is it a .zip or is it not a zip" issue. Permissions were not an issue in the original task, which worked (but had flawed data structure (my fault)). > Maybe its the version of Python? > Maybe I didn't read what you wrote to type into the shell properly? > Maybe it's the spaces and dashes in the zipfile name?

Thanks again, I really do need it! (oh sorry, was that obvious? haha!)
