Unix:Recursively unzipping .zip file in respective folder

Question

I have a number of zipped files say a.zip b.zip etc in a folder. I would like to unzip those and put into a respective directory like a,b .Can you suggest me some unix script for it.?

Answer 1

Should not be much hard (untested!):

#!/bin/bash

for zip in *.zip ; do
    dir=${zip%.zip}
    mkdir "$dir"
    unzip -rd "$dir" "$zip"
done

Answer 2

You can use unzip utility in unix, as follows:

    #!/bin/bash

    for f in *.zip
    do
        echo "unzipping $f"
        unzip $f -d ${f%.*}
    done

Running this script in directory will unzip all the zip files in it as you wanted, say a.zip, b.zip will be unzipped to directories a and b respectively.

Answer 3

This previous post has helped me to achieve this same function; I even created a script to help me remember on my computer:

$ ls *.zip|awk -F'.zip' '{print "unzip "$0" -d "$1}'|sh

Similarly, you can create an alias to execute a bash function:

$ alias munzip='for f in *.zip; do unzip -d "${f%*.zip}" "$f"; done'

and for a dry-run, to test it beforehand:

$ alias testmunzip='for f in *.zip; do echo unzip -d "${f%*.zip}" "$f"; done'

Just thought it might help to keep this related info on one page, in case someone else is looking for the same effects.
