Uncompress several tar.gz files inside several folders

Hi,

I need to uncompress sevral tar.gz files that are located insides sevral folders using a shell script.


Folder tree looks like this :
Code:
/folder/001
/folder/002
/folder/003

Inside each folder dossier (001,002,003) we can find 1 or several tar.gz files.


I've scripted something like this :
Code:
!/bin/bash
liste_fichier="/folder/*"
for fichier in $liste_fichier do
tar -xzvf $fichier/*.tar.gz --directory $fichier/
done
exit

Issue:
This scripts only works with one tar.gz file inside the folder.
When it finds more then one tar.gz file it crashes the message tar : <path/file.tar.gz> : not found in archive


Some other tests:
-I've tested the code below inside one folder(001) containing several tar.gz.file :
Code:
for i in *.tar.gz 
do 
tar -xzvf $i 
done

It works.


I try to run it inside my script without success. To many loops I guess

Any "good" ideas are welcome.
Thank you
