Shell Programming and Scripting

I receive multiple zipped directories with files in them, so the .zip name is the name of the directory containing the files.
so i have used a simple loop to unzip all of them but when unzipped i have folders/directories, i wanted to strip these directories and remain with the actual files from each directory when i run the unzip script,

can anyone assist me with that kind of a script that strips directories, i know the "tar " command has something to strip but failed to make it work on zip file

regards

If files are zipped up with the full path name, then it will be difficult to extract them without those path names. It's the same with tar

A quick workaround would be to extract them as you have done and then move all the files into a common directory:-

Code:

find /extract/directory -type f -exec mv {} /target/directory \;
