    defVar --name desktop --type String
defVar --name createdDirectory --type String
getSpecialFolder --folder "Desktop" desktop=value
createDir --path "${desktop}\\Test Folder" createdDirectory=value
unzip --file "testFileIBM.zip" --destinationfolder "${createdDirectory}"
logMessage --message "Directory where the unzipped file was saved: ${createdDirectory}" --type "Info"
// The "logMessage" command displays the path to the directory where the unzipped file was saved.
