SSH Help - Batch unzip

    Hello All,

    I've been searching for a solution for a really long time now, and have yet to find an answer. Basically I have a folder with hundreds of .zip files (i.e. 001.zip, 002.zip... 100.zip, etc).
    I need to figure out a way to batch unzip all the files without doing it one-by-one.

    Thanks!

    As far i know, Linux zip/unzip supports wildcard with the file name. So running the following command on the directory where all the zip files are located should do your job:

    unzip *.zip
    Code (markup):
    If you want to extract them into some other directory like /root/dump then just do the following:

    unzip *.zip -d /root/dump
    Code (markup):

    caution: filename not matched: Biomega003.zip
    caution: filename not matched: Biomega004.zip
    etc...
