| 13 | <P>Extracts files from an archive to the current

| 16 |
|

| 17 | <P>This command copies all extracted files to one directory.

| 21 | <P>7-Zip will prompt the user before overwriting existing files unless
|
|---|
| 22 | the user specifies the <A href="../switches/yes.htm">-y (Assume Yes on all queries)</A>
|
|---|
| 23 | switch. If the user gives a <B>no</B> answer, 7-Zip will prompt for the file to be
|
|---|
| 24 | extracted to a new filename. Then a <B>no</B> answer skips that file; or, <B>yes</B>
|
|---|
| 25 | prompts for new filename.</P>

|

|
|---|
| 60 | <P>7-Zip doesn't uses the system wildcard parser. 7-Zip doesn't
|
|---|
| 61 | follow the archaic rule by which *.* means any file. 7-Zip treats
|
|---|
| 62 | *.* as matching the name of any file that has an extension. To process
|
|---|
| 63 | all files, you must use a * wildcard.</P>
