    <h1>Intro</h1> <p>So, I'm attempting to read in a zip file from a directory, and unzip that to a tmp location. The problem is that powershell seems to be misinterpreting the quotes and not writing out the value of the $copyLocation variable. Instead, it is copying the files to [currentDirectory]\$copyLocation. I'm hoping you all can help. I'm new to Powershell, and this is only a piece of the script I have to write to take over our build automation. Thank you in advance.</p> <p>By the way, hosts is an XmlElement which we are iterating over. So, we're deploying this zip file to a location on a number of hosts specified in an xml configuration file.</p> <pre><code>function copyWebappToDestination($copyWebappFrom,$to,$hosts){ foreach( $it in $hosts ){ Write-Host "Deploying webapp" $webapps.webappName "to" $it.hostIp "at" $it.to setUpDirectories foreach($file in $filelocation){ if($file.name.ToString() -eq "Web.Main.zip"){ $filename = $file.name.ToString() $hostIp = $it.hostIp $fileDest = $file.FullName #unzip the files &amp; '7z' x ""$fileDest"" -o""$copyLocation"" -y -r break } } } </code></pre> <h1>Edit</h1> <p>The weirdest part, is that I wrote out the command</p> <pre><code>&amp; '7z' x "C:\MoveToProduction\SM\PROD\Web.Main.zip" -o"C:\MoveToProduction\SM\PROD\tmp" -y -r" </code></pre> <p>And ran that from a Powershell console, and it worked just fine. It just doesn't work from within the context of a script.</p> <h1>Edit Final</h1> <p>So, I gave up trying to get the call operator working. Basically, what I ended up settling on was the command:</p> <pre><code>Invoke-Expression -command "cmd /C '7z x `"$fileDest`" -o`"$copyLocation`" -y -r'" </code></pre>

    1. COI think you want `& 7z "C:\MoveToProduction\SM\PROD\Web.Main.zip" "-oC:\MoveToProduction\SM\PROD\tmp" -y -r`

    2. CONot sure if it helps but Ive had great luck with [DotNetZip](http://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/) with powershell. Might be easier.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
