Question Unix Script - Move and Unzip Files
Requirement Details:
We have a folder named 'Inbound Files' that has many folders in it containing source files that have to be processed by Informatica system. We have zipped files, text files and csv files in those folders that have to be moved (cut and paste) from 'Inbound_Files' folder to 'Src_Files' folder.

Now the zipped files in 'Src_Files' folder have to be unzipped in the same folder having a list file created.
For example:
We have a zipped file named as Data_File.GZ that contains File1.txt, File2.txt and File3.txt zipped in it. Post unzip unlike the number of resultant files, the file names have to be added into a list file named Data_File.lst - this list file will have the resultant file names (say - Data_File.lst should contain
File1.txt
File2.txt
File3.txt one below the other)

Please assist

What is the problem? What did you do so far? This sounds like normal Unix/Linux shell tasks.

Hi Zaxxon,

Moving the files from a folder to other is done, I just wanted to know how should I create those *.lst files after unzipping them?

Thanks
Mano
