    Hi,

    I have a folder (C:\shellprg\input\) containing .CSV, .zip, .gz files.
    1] I want to find all .zip/.gz files from folder (C:\shellprg\input\).
    2] unzip/uncompress files into the same folder (C:\shellprg\input\) through shell script.

    I am using below commands for unzip files,
    Code:
     
    unzip <filename>
    gzip -d <filename>
    
    Could you please help me out.
    Thanks in advance.:confused:

    You can use the following script to unzip/uncompress the zipped / compressed files

    Code:
    for zipfile in *.zip
    do
              unzip $zipfile
              rm -rf $zipfile
    done
    try this out :)
