I have a zip archive. The unzip -l myarchive.zip command gives this listing:
top/subtop/files/1.txt
top/subtop/files2/2.txt
etc
The root folders are top/subtop for all files. How to extract those files without the two top/subtop folders?
E.g. when I am in /home/myuser/public_html directory, files/1.txt and files2/2.txt shoud be extracted directly to that directory.
I tried unzip myarchive.zip top/subtop/* but it created top/subtop directories anyway.
For unzip command with range expression in filename, we need to escape both the range format and the wildcard in target filename, e.g. to unzip files with txt extension in order0710.zip, ... order0715.zip into folder txt_pool, we should issue command like this:
unzip -jn order071\[0-5].zip \*.txt -d txt_pool
This is a known feature request (#1174), Status: open.

Now when files are extracted their creating date, edited date are set to current time despite in archive they could have their own dates, an option to preserve those would be very nice.

The hard part is already done. If you just right-click and under 7-zip, extract here/to, it should perform as expected.
After testing it appears that the above comment is incorrect and doesn't work.

Unfortunately, you can't. Your only real option is to just move them after they are extracted.
