Hi Group,

I'm trying to write a bash script that enter a given dir ($1) and
process all the archive files present in it (zip, rar, ace, tgz, etc).

for every kind of archive the script extract the files (with full paths)
into a new directory with the same name of the archive.

EXAMPLE:

../script.sh /DIR

- enter /DIR
- extract file1.rar into dir "file1"
- extract w w w.zip into dir "w w w"
- and so on.




This is my code, but it' not so good: when I use it on zip files it said:
checkdir: cannot create extraction directory: file1.zip


Note that my script is able only to creato a dir with the same name of
the given file. It should create it without extension!


Thi is the code:

#!/bin/bash

# enter the dir
cd $1

# I use this echo beacuse the file could have spaces into file names
echo "$(ls)" | while read i;
do

if [ $# != 1 ]; then
echo "extract: Bad usage. Syntax \"extract.bash <file>\""
exit 1
else
FILE="$i"
fi

if [ "${FILE//./}" = "$FILE" ]; then
echo "extract: Bad usage. The filename \"$FILE\" has no extension."
exit 1
fi


# manage extensions
EXT=${FILE##*.}

case $EXT in

zip )

unzip $FILE -d $FILE;;

gz |tgz )

gunzip $FILE;;

bz2 )

bunzip2 $FILE ;;

rar )

unrar x $FILE ;;

* )

echo "extract.bash: $FILE has not a valid suffix" 1>&2
exit 1
esac

done

exit 0

I solved using:
unzip $FILE -d ${FILE%.*} ;;
