Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi all,

I have a script below which meant to decompress *.tr.gz to allocated folder.
e.g. hello.tar.gz should be decompress to a subdirectory called hello and all the files should be in hello subdirectory.

How do i do it? Am i missing anything?

Condition: there are existing tar.gz in teh current directory

Code:

#!/bin/sh

for i in *.tar.gz
do
echo $i
filename=`basename $i .tar.gz`
echo $filename
mkdir $filename

find . $i -exec gtar -xzf {} $filename \;

done

Help me pls.... or at least give me some hints!!

I have given up

$filename is not anymore your tarred file. Also the other problem is that, when you're trying to untar the files,you already have the directories with same name, already created in your current dir, that's why you need first to move the tarred files out into the newly created directories, then untar.
I don't have currently istalled gtar, but the following quick code worked for gzipped files. Modify as needed:

Code:

for i in *.gz
do
mkdir ${i%.gz}
mv $i /current/directory/${i%.gz}/
gunzip ./${i%.gz}/$i
done
