Very Computer

Hello -- I apologize in advance if this is not the proper place to ask this
question.

I need to unzip dozens of files witin one dir on my UNIX server (Linux)

I tried to cd to that dir and run:

unzip *.ZIP or unzip ./*.ZIP

But all I get is

"caution: filename not matched: [filename]"

for each file...

(All my files are in upper case)

I tried with several options and couldn't get it to work.

Unzipping files one at a time does work though...

Any clue on how to unzip multiple files at once? Thanks in advance.

try this:

for name in *.ZIP
do
   unzip $name
done

Regards Rainer

for file in *.ZIP; do unzip $file; done

Hi Rainer, thanks for your answer.

It worked great. Now what I would like is to have, for each given archive
file, a new dir created, with the same file name (no extension) and the
content of the given archive into the new directory.

So the content of archive1.zip would be extracted into a new archive1 dir.

Any idea of how I can do that?

Thanks again.

try this:

for name in *.ZIP
do
   OIFS=$IFS; IFS="."; set $name; shortname=$1; IFS=$OIFS;
   mkdir $shortname
   cd $shortname
   unzip ../$name
   cd ..
done

Hi Rainer, it worked like a charm!

for name in `ls *.Z`
do
#echo ${name} |  sed "s/.c.Z//"
echo "mkdir ` echo ${name} |  sed "s/.c.Z//"`"
#echo ${newdir}
echo uncompress ${name} ` echo ${name} |  sed "s/.c.Z//"`
done
