Re: Winzip free??

jar -xvf Blah.zip

, thats how we do it at work on IBM P590 Unix servers

Theres more to life than GUI based tools you know!

why use command line I hear you ask? Well, what happens if you have 100 zip files that all need expanding, they don't even need to be in the same directory.

for file in `find . -name "*.zip`
do
echo "expanding:" $file
jar -xvf $file
done

That will search every subfolder for zip files and expand then all , you can do selective expansion by using regular expressions in the find command or just using grep/egrep

If I was doing it on a live box I'd obviously put some error checking in there and make sure that all backups are safe first!


Yes I know, sad muppet you all mutter!
