I have downloaded a 67 GB datafile that is a tar.gz file, and have been trying to extract part of it (on Windows 10) using Express Zip. It has been stuck “reading contents” for the last hour and a half. I concluded that it will never progress to the next step, so cancelled whatever it was doing.
I only know that the file contains a lot of data in individual files – there was no information associated with the file that I could find at the source, other than an indication that there are probably up to 114 subdirectories according to language and bazillions of individual files. It is possible that I’m facing a memory limitation, that it cannot extract the internal directory information because TMI. Express Zip doesn’t give any unseful indicator that it is doing anything, and after cancelling it gave no information on what it had done.
Is there an efficient tool that works on Windows, can discover on Windows 10 what is inside of the zip file, and allow me to extract “the Dutch examples” assuming that the Dutch examples are in a single sub-directory containing the word “Dutch”, given the assumption that there are very many files.
