To loop over all files in the current directory, do
Code:
for I in *; do ...
You will want to tweak down the diagnostics so it doesn't complain about each and every file it doesn't know how to handle.
You still have $1 in a lot of places where you should now have $I (dollar capital I). Basically anywhere outside the function, you want $I (ih) not $1 (one).
The temporary move of the packed file into the directory where you extract it seems superfluous; just $command ../"$I" instead. If you change that, you will need to make some changes to the code where it moves the file to the store_folder, too.
No, the ... was just to signal that you'd continue as before from that point on.
Just take out the three dots after "do" and fix the one remaining occurrence of $1 (in the case -- you should have case $I in --) and you should be fine. Oh, and you should either not move the file before unzipping it, and use $command "../$I" (there are no spaces between ../ and $I -- it means unzip the file $I in the parent directory), or move the file to the current directory, and omit the ../
You might want to put in some error checking, too: if the directory you want to create already exists, should it just go there anyway, or perhaps add a suffix to the directory name and try again, for example?
Similarly, if you run it on multiple files, store_folder will already exist at least after the first iteration, but it might also exist after a previous run. If nothing else, you probably want to avoid the warnings from attempting to create a directory which already exists. For that particular case, it's probably sufficient to simply check if it exists already, and only if not, try to create it.
