Right,
I have a .zip file on an AIX box, and if I unzip it using unzip, it's unzips the contents (as you'd expect).

However, I only want one of the files in there to be unzipped, and I want to change the name of it when is unzipped, all in one go, as there may be several of these zip files in the directory, all containing an "out.log" and there will be a need to unzip more than one file per day.

The files are job logs from TWS, on a zCentric agent, so the old STDLIST sturcture has gone from the old styl FTAs (for thos Unix bods who have across TWS.......)

Any ideas?

Mental blank on piping but how about:

unzip -p YourZipFile out.log > mynewfilename.log

If the out.log is in a subfolder of the zip, you need to full relative path to it from the root of the ZIP. E.g. if in the zip is it located at /logs/out.log the command would be:

unzip -p YourZipFile logs/out.log > mynewfilename.log

It has been 100 years since I did any Unix.

Sorry
