 Posted: Thu Nov 18, 2004 11:12 pm Post subject: batch unzip from command line???? |
 |
|
I have searched all over the place to find out how I can unzip several files at once from the command line and all I can find are the normal unzip options, but none seem to tell how to do multiple files...
I have a bunch of font files in .zip format... instead of extracting each one seperately, I would like to unzip all of them at once, to the same folder they reside in now...
also, the .zip files usually contain more than just .ttf files, and I would like to ONLY extract the .ttf files and none of the other garbage... if that is possible...
I have tried several different unzip commands, options, modifiers, parameters, etc... the one I figure would work fine would be
for a general quiet unzip command.... even if this is all I can do, I would be happy to remove all the garbage files myself... but this command returns the error
| Code: | | caution: filename not matched: {filename} |
for every .zip file in the directory...
can someone PLEASE give me the command line for this job?
thanks in advance...
(PS - if it matters, 2004.2, stage3, 2.6.9-r4, kde3.3.1 {running command line from terminal in kde} )

sorry it took so long to get back... thank you for the help... unfoo did it for me... although it took forever to get all the non-ttf files out of the way...

The correct syntax for "unzip *.zip" is:
