unzip multiple files

I don't think that I'm the only one with this problem, but unfortunately I wasn't able to find the proper answer between previously asked questions.

It is a very common procedure on torrent sites where the content is split in many small archives. Sometimes, those small indexed zip archives are containing another rar archives inside.

So, my question is: how to you handle this problem? How to you recursively unpack those files?


To do so, just press Ctrl+Alt+T on your keyboard to open Terminal. When it opens, run the command(s) below:

unzip '*.zip'

Also you can right click on the first file in the group, and choose Extract here, and that will also all the files in that group.


To unzip multiple files using a loop -

for z in *.zip; do unzip "$z"; done
