Extract several zip files, each in a new folder with the same name, via Ubuntu terminal
You should be able to use unzip's -d
option to set an alternate directory for the archive contents.
unzip -d a a.zip
unzip -d b b.zip
and so on. Within a find
expression, you should be able to derive the name for the directory from the name of the zipfile using shell parameter expansion e.g.
find . -name '*.zip' -exec sh -c 'unzip -d "${1%.*}" "$1"' _ {} \;
Test it first by adding an echo
i.e.
find . -name '*.zip' -exec sh -c 'echo unzip -d "${1%.*}" "$1"' _ {} \;
or something like
while read -rd $'\0' f; do
unzip -d "${f%.*}" "$f"
done < <(find . -name '*.zip' -print0)
I came looking for this myself, only to realize I'd already done it with other commands and it could be applied to just about anything else, the way I was already doing it.
The find method is crazy over-complicated for no reason.
for i in *.zip; do unzip "$i" -d "${i%%.zip}"; done
Simply Use
unzip '*.zip' -d /home/user/folder/
