find -type f -name ‘*.rar’ -exec unrar x {} \;

But then i noticed some of my compressed files were distributed over many ‘part’ files, and occasionally, all of these would be *.rar files, and so this script would try to do the whole decompression for part file, which was annoying, time consuming and more importantly not the elegant solution! So after a bit of reading, I came up with this:

for directory in `ls -d */`; do
rarFile=`ls $directory | grep -i .rar –max-count 1`;
unrar e $directory$rarFile;
done

This iterates through each directory at the current level, and for each one finds just the first *.rar file, and extracts it to the current directory.

do unzip -o -d foldername/ “$f”;

I modified mine a bit to account for archives which ask for confirmation. If you ‘man unzip’ you’ll find a -o switch which: “-o overwrite files WITHOUT prompting”

So my .sh script amounted to:

for f in *.zip;
do unzip -o -d “$f”;
done

Hope this helps someone! Regards,

for f in *.zip;do unzip “$f” -d “$f.inflated”;done

It works on my Debian.

PS: I’ve not seen Alp link cause it seems broken.
