[xubuntu-users] Terminal: Batch Unzip All *.7z Files In Folder While Deleting Each 7z File?

2017-06-20 Thread Jesse Palser

Hi,

I need to batch(from terminal) decompress all *.7z files in a folder 
while deleting each 7z file.

How can I do the above in Xubuntu 16.04?

PS - If delete is not possible then how can I specify a different 
directory to unzip files to?

(different HDD)

Thanks!

Jesse

"command to extract 7z files *.7z" && rm *.7z

If the first command fails it won't do the second command.

First, install 7z

$ sudo apt-get install p7zip-full

Then in the directory where the .7z files are:

$ for f in *.7z; do 7z e $f; /bin/rm -f $f; done
