Hi, I'm looking for a command to unzip to seperate dirs.

I use this for multiple unzip

for X in `ls`; do unzip $X; done

but that unzips in current dir, are there any commands to recursively create a new folder and each consequetive unzip goes in the respective folder? Thanks.

$ c=0; for X in `ls *.zip`; do mkdir $c; unzip -d $c -qq $X; c=$(($c+1)); done;

This will create directories 0..n (number of zip files you have) and unextract each zip file individually into each directory that is created.

Let me know how it goes :)

Perfect, but one wierd thing, after those folders are made and I delete them they continue from the # left off if I execute the command again. Thanks a lot for your help though :D

xfob,

Yeah, if you are still using the same bash shell session it will do that, it's because $c is still set. You can unset c and re-run the command, or end your shell session and start another one.

Hope this helps.

Oh I just realized, folder 1 unzips the second .zip file in the directory, the first zip file doesn't get unzipped

c begins at 0, that means 1 is really 2 :)

if the zip file didn't un-extract it must mean the zip file
has some issues. Try manually unzipping that file.
