You might consider the find command. It will descend a directory tree trying to find matches. if you don't want it to cross into any sub-mounted filesystems or follow symbolic links then there are flags to deal with that.

As a starter for 10, try something like:-
Code:
cd /path/to/main/folder
find . -xdev -type f -name "*.zip"

What is your OS & shell? There seems to be one post using / and one using \ The output (in CODE tags) from uname -a;ps would be very useful.

If every single file has been zipped and you are confident of the unzip process, you could even extend the find to run that on each file it finds, however you have to be sure it is what you want, so copy a small part away and test it elsewhere first. Just focus on working with a single zip file first. What command do you have for unzipping one of these? Does it remove the zip file afterwards? Is that is what you want?



Kind regards,
Robin
