Create a dedicated folder for every zip files in a directory and extract zip files
unzip file.zip -d xxx
will extract files to directory xxx, and xxx will be created if it is not there. You can check the man page for details.
The awk line below should do the job:
ls *.zip|awk -F'.zip' '{print "unzip "$0" -d "$1}'|sh
See the test below,
note that I removed |sh
at the end, since my zips are fake archives; I just want to show the generated command line here.
kent$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 0 Nov 12 23:10 001.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 0 Nov 12 23:10 002.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 0 Nov 12 23:10 003.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 0 Nov 12 23:10 004.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 0 Nov 12 23:10 005.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 0 Nov 12 23:10 006.zip
-rw-r--r-- 1 kent kent 0 Nov 12 23:10 007.zip
kent$ ls *.zip|awk -F'.zip' '{print "unzip "$0" -d "$1}'
unzip 001.zip -d 001
unzip 002.zip -d 002
unzip 003.zip -d 003
unzip 004.zip -d 004
unzip 005.zip -d 005
unzip 006.zip -d 006
unzip 007.zip -d 007
"extract here" is merely a feature of whatever unzip
wrapper you are using. unzip
will only extract what actually is in the archive. There is probably no simpler way than a shell script. But sed
, awk
etc. are not needed for this if you have a POSIX-compliant shell:
for f in *.zip; do unzip -d "${f%*.zip}" "$f"; done
(You MUST NOT escape the *
or pathname expansion will not take place.) Be aware that if the ZIP archive contains a directory, such as with Eclipse archives (which always contain eclipse/
), you would end up with ./eclipse*/eclipse/eclipse.ini
in any case. Add echo
before unzip
for a dry run.
p7zip
, the command line version of 7zip does the job
7z x '*.zip' -o'*'
On debian and ubuntu, you have to install p7zip-full
.
