I need to Unzipped a list of zip archives. These archives are not empty, in each one there are a lot of file. In my directory I have a lot of file zip archive and all have the the name in the same format: batch-download-ccd-1610959358275.zip but change only the numeric part. I can extract each archive with unzip command but if I try to extract all the archives together with this command unzip *.zip I get this message (For simplicity I report only the example where I try to extract two archives):
Archive: batch-download-ccd-1610959358275.zip
caution: filename not matched: batch-download-ccd-1610959397790.zip
Could someone help me please?
unzip takes only one archive as an argument, the remaining arguments are understood as files inside the archive.
Use a shell loop:
for zip in batch-download-ccd-*.zip ; do
unzip "$zip"
done

in Python I have the following command executed unzip '{dir}ATTOM_RECORDER/*.zip' -d {dir}ATTOM_RECORDER/ as a bash command. The python call works perfectly. my question is about the unzip command itself.
for some reason when unzip is called to expand any relevent zip files in the folder specified, not all the files WITHIN the zip is extracted. There's usually a rpt and a txt file. However, sometimes the txt file is not coming out and I do not have an error command.
How can I ensure the txt file is guaranteed to be extracted before moving on?
Thanks
While you want to unzip your specific zip file. There are many option to decompress any file from zip files. Easiest way is the ‘-l’ option with unzip command is used to list the contents of a zip file after extracting it.
Syntax: unzip -l [file_name.zip]
I currently have about 10 zip files I would like to extract into one folder. Each zip file contains around 1000 images. As a result, lots of the names of the images are duplicated. For example, in the first zip file, we have things like Img.jpg, Img(1).jpg, Img(2).jpg. I know that to extract multiple zip files into a single folder, I would do something like:
unzip '*.zip'
However, when it tries to put a file from the first zip file that has the same name as a file in the second zip file, it starts to ask:
replace duplicatefile.mp4? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename:
At this point, what do I do if I want to keep ALL files, including the duplicates, and possibly have them named to image(1).jpg instead?
In short, is there a way to call the unzip command on all the zip files, have them extracted into a single folder, without losing any files due to same names?
Thanks.
Invoke unzip --help for details.
But it appears unzip *.zip -n should do the trick?
(Make sure it does what you expect before going ahead!)
1) extract from large zip file
I want to extract files from a large zip file (30Gb+) on the linux server. There is enough free disk space.
I've tried jar xf dataset.zip. However, there's an error that push button is full, and it failed to extract all of the files.
I tried unzip, but zipfile corrupt.
Archive: dataset.zip
warning [dataset.zip]: 35141564204 extra bytes at beginning or within zipfile
(attempting to process anyway)
error [dataset.zip]: start of central directory not found;
zipfile corrupt.
(please check that you have transferred or created the zipfile in the
appropriate BINARY mode and that you have compiled UnZip properly)
I tried zip -FF dataset.zip --out data.zip, and there's an error that entry too big:
zip error: Entry too big to split, read, or write (Poor compression resulted in unexpectedly large entry - try -fz)
Is there anyway I can efficiently extract files from really large zip file?
2) extract certain files from a large zip file
If I only want some certain files from this large zip file, is there anyway I can extract only these files? For example, data1.txt from dataset.zip? It seems that I can't use any zip or unzip command (always have the zipfile corrupt problem).
Thanks!
I've solved the problem. It turns out to be a zip corruption problem. I first fixed the file with:
zip -FF filename1.zip --out filename2.zip -fz
then unzip the fixed zipfile:
unzip filename2.zip
and have successfully extracted all the files!
Many thanks to Fattaneh Talebi for the help!
you can extract specific file from zip
$ unzip -j "zipedfile.zip" "file.txt"
file.txt is the file you want to extract from zipedfile.zip
I had the similar kind of problem and it got solved by unar command.
unar file.zip
try extracting directories to retain control and know where you left off.
eg:
tar tv --wildcards -f siteRF.tar './Movies/*'
I tried all the steps mentioned above to unzip the file, but failed miserably.
My last resort was to copy my zip file (11.1GB) into a hard drive and unzip it using 7 zip on Windows 8 OS.
Worked like a charm :D
I also solved it in similar manner like Irene W did. It was a corrupted zip. I first fixed the file with:
zip -FF original_corrupted.zip --out fixed_file.zip -fz
then unzip the fixed zip file:
unzip fixed_file.zip
I want to create a zip archive for some files in folder hierarchy.
for example:
abc.php_0973_890
newone.text_2344_870
I want to have:
abc.phpnewone.txt in my zip archive. Is there any way for doing this?
We can not do that as zip doesnot suuport anything like that, we can use tar for such things as it as options like: --transform which can be used to transform the output filename
If I have a list of files I want to zip, how can I pass the list to zip?
cookbook/application/views/index.php
cookbook/application/controller/index.php
cookbook/js/index.js
....
cookbook/css/index.css
To do the above list one by one at the command-line would be like zip -r my.zip cookbook/css/index.css, where my.zip is in the same root directory as cookbook
Try
zip -r# my.zip < listfile
The -# flag tells zip to read file names from stdin.
If all files are in the same folder, you don't need to type each file that you want to include in the archive. Just invoke the command and specify their common folder like this:
zip -r cookbook.zip cookbook
All files inside the cookbook directory will be included in the zip archive.
