Unzip files

Is this possible to unzip the file using indesign script

I can't find anything in the DOM so my guess is no.

However, you can do it with conventional JavaScript, example here:

javascript - Unzipping files - Stack Overflow

Otherwise you could make a batch file to unzip and run the InDesign JavaScript to do whatever else you had planned.

Hello,

If you are on MacOS you can use a terminal command :

JS Snippet :

function zip(file){
    var mScript = "/~/Desktop/zip.scpt";
    var mResult = app.doScript(mScript,ScriptLanguage.applescriptLanguage,file);
    return mResult
}

zip.scpt

set myFile to item 1 of arguments
try
    set mZip to do shell script "zip -r archive_name.zip " & quoted form of POSIX path of myFile
on error errStr number errorNumber
    set mZip to 0
end try
return mZip
