How can i extract info from a 7z directory for many files without 7zip installed

sunlollyking · January 28, 2023 at 10:31 AM

Hey i've been messing around with Retroplayer and whilst its really good, lots of my rom collections are in big 7zip directories that it can't play.

I've been looking at scripts to bulk extract them all using

Code

7z e [archived-file.7z]

However 7zip isn't installed. Guessing because libreleec isn't like linux i can't just install from a repository and run a 7zip installer to help?

Ideally if i have the folder structure:

Games:

Console A

--Game1.7z

--Game2.7z

--Game3.7z

Console B

--Game1.7z

--Game2.7z

--Game3.7z

I'm wanting my script to iterate through all my consoles, extract the zips into a directory of the same name and then delete the original file.

Any help is much appreciated.

Install the system tools addon from the LE repository - it contains 7zip
