How to extract 7zip archives with relative paths

Viewed 306

I have an archive myfile.7z that contains the single file

\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\Folder4\myfile.txt

When I open this archive in 7-zip gui, navigate to Folder3, click it and click the "Extract" icon, it will correctly extract the relative path:

\Folder3\Folder4\myfile.txt

However when I run the following from command line to extract Folder3:

"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x myfile.7z -r Folder1\Folder2\Folder3

Instead of extracting the relative path starting with Folder3 in the same fashion as the gui, it extracts the full path:

\Folder1\Folder2\Folder3\Folder4\myfile.txt

How do I get the command line version to extract relative paths the same way the gui does?
