OK, this is a good start. The find utility provides a list of filenames fitting the clauses you specifiy. Here is the principle of how it works. I suggest you try the following commands on the commandline to get acquainted:
will list everything in the directory: files, directories, whatever. As you are interested only in files you can specify:
The -type f limits the output to only files, skipping directories and other things. But you are not interested in all files, only the ones with a certain extension: "zip", if i got you right. Therefore:
This will reduce the outcome further to only files (-type f) named "zip" (-name "*zip") at the end. You can use other clauses (as you have done) to further limit the result set.
Right now you pipe this list into a while-loop and process it there. In the version you showed us only an echo-statement is inside the loop and therefore the filename is simply displayed, nothing else. You could now put other commands into the loop to process the files in the way you want, i.e.:
but there is a much better and more elegant approach: find can itself process the files found using the -exec clause: the filename found is represented by "{}" and you need to terminate the "commandline" by "\;". Therefore:
I suggest you consult the man pages about find about the exact terms and limitations of this procedure.
