.zip archive or expression language
Hello,
I'm using NiFi to pull down some .zip archives off the web and want to
extract them and do some processing, however it looks like i can't
decompress a .zip archive. Do i need to use the ExecuteProcess processor
in order to handle this with an "unzip"? If so, is there a way through
expression language that i can use "unzip $.filename" that was downloaded
using the GetHttp processor? Or do i need to use this path: GetHttp ->
PutFile -> ExecuteProcess(unzip)?
Thanks

Hi Devin,
Have you taken a look at UnpackContent [1] ? I think that should be able to
unpack a FlowFile where the content is a zip file.
