Unzip files in original directory 1

[jmarkus]

I would like to have a script that finds all the zip files throughout a directory tree, and unzips them into directories named after the zip files, from the relative path.

I know:
find . -name "*zip" -exec dirname {} \;
will give me the directories where the zip files reside
find . -name "*zip" -exec unzip {} \;
will unzip all files to the directory I issued the command from

but how do I
find . -name "*zip" -exec unzip {} -d "relative path/filename-as-directory"

Thanks,
Jeff

find . -name '*zip' | while read f; do unzip $f -d `dirname $f`; done

Hope This Helps, PH.

I don't think that does exactly what was required, it omits the creation of a directory based on the zip filename. Perhaps:

find . -name '*zip' | while read f; do unzip $f -d ${f%.zip}; done
