Unzip All Files In A Directory

Question

I have a directory of ZIP files  created on a Windows machine   I can manually unzip them using unzip filename  but how can I unzip all the ZIP files in the current folder via the shell   Using Ubuntu Linux Server

User · Answer

The following bash script extracts all zip files in the current directory into new dirs with the filename of the zip file, i.e.:

The following files:

myfile1.zip
myfile2.zip

Will be extracted to:

./myfile1/files...
./myfile2/files...

Shell script:

#!/bin/sh
for zip in *.zip
do
  dirname=`echo $zip | sed 's/\.zip$//'`
  if mkdir "$dirname"
  then
    if cd "$dirname"
    then
      unzip ../"$zip"
      cd ..
      # rm -f $zip # Uncomment to delete the original zip file
    else
      echo "Could not unpack $zip - cd failed"
    fi
  else
    echo "Could not unpack $zip - mkdir failed"
  fi
done

In any POSIX shell  this will unzip into a different directory for each zip file   for file in   zip do     directory    file  zip       unzip   file  -d   directory  done

If by  current directory  you mean the directory in which the zip file is  then I would use this command  find   -name    zip  -execdir unzip         excerpt from find s man page -execdir command   -execdir command        Like -exec  but the specified command is run from the subdirectory containing the matched file  which is not normally the directory in which you started find  This a much more secure method for invoking commands  as it avoids race conditions during resolution of the paths to the matched files  As with the -exec option  the     form of -execdir will build a command line to process more than one matched file  but any given invocation of command will only list files that exist in the same subdirectory  If you use this option  you must ensure that your  PATH environment variable does not reference the current directory  otherwise  an attacker can run any commands they like by leaving an appropriately-named file in a directory in which you will run -execdir

If the files are gzip d  Then just use   gunzip -rfk     from the root directory to recursively extract files in respective directories by keeping the original ones  or remove -k to delete them

aunpack -e   zip  with atool installed  Has the advantage that it deals intelligently with errors  and always unpacks into subdirectories unless the zip contains only one file   Thus  there is no danger of polluting the current directory with masses of files  as there is with unzip on a zip with no directory structure
