Hi theboguz and welcome to Bricks.SE! It seems there is a significant disconnect between the question title and body - do you wish to download an .ev3p file or unzip an .ev3 file?

Sorry, @zovits! I would like to unzip an .ev3 file into other files. Thanks in advance.

As several previous answers on this  stack exchange site have already clarified, an ev3 file is a .zip file. Rename it and change the extension to .zip and you'll be able to open it. What's inside it is documented here: https://afarago.github.io/EV3TreeVisualizerPages/filesyntax.html

I would like to access the text file of the project files (.ev3p) to know their structure. But in the Mindstorms software, I couldn't find any way to download the .ev3p files.
