Special Forums Windows & DOS: Issues & Discussions Looking for help unzip multiple file Post 303010175 by rbatte1 on Thursday 28th of December 2017 04:42:15 AM

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

NAME
zipcloak - encrypt entries in a zipfile SYNOPSIS
zipcloak [-d] [-b path] [-h] [-v] [-L] zipfile ARGUMENTS
zipfile Zipfile to encrypt entries in OPTIONS
-b path --temp-path path Use the directory given by path for the temporary zip file. -d --decrypt Decrypt encrypted entries (copy if given wrong password). -h --help Show a short help. -L --license Show software license. -O path --output-file zipfile Write output to new archive zipfile, leaving original archive as is. -q --quiet Quiet operation. Suppresses some informational messages. -v --version Show version information. DESCRIPTION
zipcloak encrypts all unencrypted entries in the zipfile. This is the default action. The -d option is used to decrypt encrypted entries in the zipfile. zipcloak uses original zip encryption which is considered weak. Note: The encryption code of this program is not copyrighted and is put in the public domain. It was originally written in Europe and can be freely distributed from any country including the U.S.A. (Previously if this program was imported into the U.S.A, it could not be re-exported from the U.S.A to another country.) See the file README.CR included in the source distribution for more on this. Otherwise, the Info-ZIP license applies. EXAMPLES
To be added. BUGS
Large files (> 2 GB) and large archives not yet supported. Split archives not yet supported. A work around is to convert the split archive to a single-file archive using zip and then use zipcloak on the single-file archive. If needed, the resulting archive can then be split again using zip.
