unzip file using 7z in powershell

Question

What is the command to unzip a file using 7z in powershell?

set-alias sz \"$env:ProgramFiles\\7-Zip\\7z.exe\"
sz x  $zipfilePath $destinationUnzipPath -aoa -         


        

Answer 1

Aliases are not meant for that, they are meant to proxy other commands, not commands + parameters.

To achieve what you want you would need to use a functions:

function sz($args) {
    Start-Process "$env:ProgramFiles\7-Zip\7z.exe" -ArgumentList $args
}
