Unzipping IBM iFixes in a FOR loop

I have a load of iFixes downloaded as .ZIP files: -

7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFIC86727.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR44463.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR45124.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR45931.zip
7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR42774.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR44474.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR45222.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR45939.zip
7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR44032.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR44503.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR45344.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR46350.zip
7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR44086.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR44606.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR45523.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-Unix-IFJR43774.zip
7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR44199.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR44617.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR45532.zip 
7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR44357.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR44690.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR45553.zip 
7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR44397.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR44729.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR45755.zip
7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR44428.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR45071.zip  7.5.1.1-WS-BPM-IFJR45851.zip

in a directory called /home/wasadmin/Fixes.

Here's a neat little script that I use to expand the fixes, neatly ready to be installed using IBM Installation Manager: -

$ cd /home/wasadmin/Fixes
$ mkdir Install
$ for i in *.zip;do unzip $i -d Install/`echo $i | sed -s 's/.zip//g'`; done

This results in each iFix unzipped into its own private directory: -

There is no need to use SED in this task.

Instead of your last original command one could use:

for i in *.zip;do unzip ${i} -d Install/${i/\.zip/};done

See that backslash in the regex? You missed that one on your original code. I don't know about the naming convention of those packages but should any of those files contain "[any character]zip" in their name (including the extension) then your SED regex will erase this (because of the "g" command).

and that's why I love blogging. Getting feedback like this is absolutely sweet. Thanks for the input. I'll update my own notes :-)

Cheers, Dave

Visual Studio Code - Wow 🙀

Why did I not know that I can merely hit [cmd] [p]  to bring up a search box allowing me to search my project e.g. a repo cloned from GitHub...
