i want to recursively unzip into proper folder
so i have
/home/abdullah/quran1/files.zip
/home/abdullah/quran2/files.zip
…
/home/abdullah/quranfolder/files.zip
…
/home/abdullah/quranfolder/files.zip
i simply want to unzip all of them at once, here is the shell script to do it in linux:
find -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d | while read line; do unzip $line/*.zip -d $line ; done
This way is problematic if any of the folders have spaces in them
this way is better
for dir in */; do ( cd "$dir" && unzip *.zip ); done

Here is an application of method 1 above, delete all files with 2008 in the name
find -name *2008* | while read line; do rm -f $line ; done
