How to untar all .tar.gz with shell-script?
I tried this:
DIR=/path/tar/*.gz
if [ "$(ls -A $DIR 2> /dev/null)" =开发者_如何学C= "" ]; then
echo "not gz"
else
tar -zxvf /path/tar/*.gz -C /path/tar
fi
If the folder has one tar, it works. If the folder has many tar, I get an error.
How can I do this?
I have an idea to run a loop to untar, but I don't know how to solve this problem
for f in *.tar.gz
do
tar zxvf "$f" -C /path/tar
done
I find the find
exec syntax very useful:
find . -name '*.tar.gz' -exec tar -xzvf {} \;
{}
gets replaced with each file found and the line is executed.
for a in /path/tar/*.gz
do
tar -xzvf "$a" -C /path/tar
done
Notes
- This presumes that files ending in
.gz
are gzipped tar files. Usually.tgz
or.tar.gz
is used to signify this, howevertar
will fail if something is not right. - You may find it easier to
cd /path/tar
first, then you can drop the-C /path/tar
from the untar command, and the/path/tar/
in the loop.
The accepted answer worked for me with a slight modification
for f in *.tar.gz
do
tar zxvf "$f" -C \name_of_destination_folder_inside_current_path
done
I had to change the forward slash to a backslash and then it worked for me.
