Extracting many zip files

xconspirisist · 07-18-2004, 10:56 AM

Ive just downloaded a whole load of zip files. Quake 3 maps to be precise, and now I have about 400.

I'd rather not use some interface to manually extract each one, but it seems gzip and gunzip wont recognise the file extension ? I've had some sucess with file-roller, but could do with some more help.

I would like to extract all of them, into another directory. cheers.

Change to the directory containing them and:
find ./ -name "*.zip" -exec unzip {} \;
