This is proving to be difficult to do in practice. Many of the filenames in
the zip contain spaces and other characters, and these are failing to be
passed to the tar successfully.
This is the command I am testing at the command line to first extract the
filenames:
unzip -l
Yes, that's exactly what those commands do. Your linux commands like unzip
and tar can probably read directly from /dev/stdin and write directly to
/dev/stdout if you want to.

Hi Michael. This is a very clever approach: convert from a zip (which
UnpackContent does not preserve file metadata for extracted files) to a tar
(for which UnpackContent does preserve file metadata), then employ the
UnpackContent.
One quick followup question. The ExecuteStreamCommand will be in
Hi Jim,
The ExecuteStreamCommand will only output 1 flowfile, so using it to unzip
in this fashion won't yield the results you need.
Instead, you might try a workaround with ExecuteStreamCommand to unzip your
file and then tar to repackage it. Then UnpackContent should be able to
read the tar
If anyone can show me how to get my ExecuteStreamCommand configured
properly as a workaround, I am still interested in that.

I did not find one, and suspect maybe I have no such privilege perhaps?
In any case, thank you for creating that.

Happy to do that Joe. How do I create and submit a JIRA for consideration?
I have not done one - at least, not for years.
If you get me started, I will do a concise and thorough description in the
ticket.
Sincerely,

James,
Makes sense to create a JIRA to improve UnpackContent to extract these
attributes in the event of a zip file that happens to present them. The
concept of lastModifiedDate does appear easily accessed if available in the
metadata. Owner/Creator/Creation information looks less standard in
I tried to use UnpackContent to extract the files within a zip file named
ABC DEF (1).zip. (the filename has spaces in its name).
UnpackContent seemed to work, but it did not preserve file attributes from
the files in the zip. For example, the lastModifiedTime is not available
so downstream I
