How deep are the directories? Sounds like shell script time. In top level dir: # Look for everyting for x in * # If directory (can't 'cd' to file) do if [ -d $x ] then # Change to directory cd $x # Look for all tar files for y in *.tar # For each tar file, extract do tar xvf $y done # Change back up 1 level cd .. # End if fi done Now if it's more than 1 tree deep, you'd have to get a bit more tricky.
