how to unzip File which has no extension
Hi experts,

I have files as you see which is in gzip format. How can i uncompress it using gunzip/gzip/uncompress?? The file has NO extension. Do i need to rename the file as *.Z /or other and then unzip the file.

bash-2.05$ file Files029999200711101618
Files029999200711101618: gzip compressed data - deflate method

the rename is not nessesary... but if the file has the same name like the archive and you want to unzip it to the same directory... problem Smilie so a renmae to filename.gz should solve your problem.

hth,

Can you do "cat myfile | gunzip "?
(But noting the above comment about overwriting the original!)

Try something like:
gunzip < Files029999200711101618 > /some/other/directory/some_output_file

Not exactly:
gunzip -c myfile
This will write the result on the standard output...

( -c --stdout write on standard output, keep original files unchanged)

So:
gunzip -c Files029999200711101618 > /some/other/directory/some_output_file
