Hi,

I have a few 100 zip files which need to be uncompressed, the person who
created them did not use directories in the zips. Oops.

If they were RAR files I could do this:

unrar x -ad *.rar

Which would extract each RAR into a directory of the archive's name. EG.
files1.rar would be extracted to a directory called files1.

I can't find the zip equivalent of this, does it exist? (Using pkzip
2.5). Or anything similar?

Thanks.

Don't know.

Check command line options.

/?
-h

or simply nothing.

You could make a batch file:

dir *.zip /B > output.txt

then modify each line too:

md zipfilename

then extract to folder etc.

It's some work but at least it can be automated which than speeds it up a
little so you dont have to do it manually ;)

rename to *.bat done.

Bye,
Bye,
Skybuck :)

I guess you just lazy or don't know how to make a batch file ? or is this
something you need to do a lot ? ;)
