Create a dedicated folder for every zip files in a directory and extract zip files
unzip file.zip -d xxx
will extract files to directory xxx, and xxx will be created if it is not there. You can check the man page for details.
The awk line below should do the job:
ls *.zip|awk -F'.zip' '{print "unzip "$0" -d "$1}'|sh
See the test below,
note that I removed |sh
at the end, since my zips are fake archives; I just want to show the generated command line here.

"extract here" is merely a feature of whatever unzip
wrapper you are using. unzip
will only extract what actually is in the archive. There is probably no simpler way than a shell script. But sed
, awk
etc. are not needed for this if you have a POSIX-compliant shell:
for f in *.zip; do unzip -d "${f%*.zip}" "$f"; done
(You MUST NOT escape the *
or pathname expansion will not take place.) Be aware that if the ZIP archive contains a directory, such as with Eclipse archives (which always contain eclipse/
), you would end up with ./eclipse*/eclipse/eclipse.ini
in any case. Add echo
before unzip
for a dry run.
