Gunzip files
Hello Everyone,

I have a few files in a directory such as :

Code:
abc.xyz.txt1.gz
abc.xyz.txt2.gz
....
....
...
...
abd.xyz.txt100.gz

And I want uncompressed files such as:

Code:
abc.xyz.txt1
abc.xyz.txt2
....
...
.....
....
abc.xyz.txt100

Can someone help me with this?
Thanks!

Code:
gunzip abc.xyz.txt*.gz

should work fine, provided you dont have any other files in the directory named like abc.xyz.txt200.gz

In that case it might be best to do it like
Code:
gunzip abc.xyz.txt[0-9][0-9].gz
gunzip abc.xyz.txt[0-9].gz
gunzip abc.xyz.txt100.gz

Just to avoid any mistakes, as this does all 10-99, then all 0-9, then 100.
