Unzip all files in directory using loop in bash script-CodePudding

I need to unzip all .gz files located in a directory. I don't want to save .gz file after unzipping.

I have tried below script:

#!/bin/bash
cd /data/path/  (move to desired directory)
for g in *.gz; do gunzip $g; done

But is seems that script ends up in loop and it never ends. Can you please help ?

CodePudding user response：

Try like this way, it won't keep .gz files after uncompress.

#!/bin/bash
cd /data/path ; gunzip *.gz

CodePudding user response：

You can execute the extract with one command:

gzip -d /data/path/*.gz

and gzip will keep the uncompressed files in the same directory where are compressed.
