Re: howto extract all the tar.bz2 files in the same directory?



for i in $(ls *.tar.bz2);do mkdir `echo $i|sed -e 's/.tar.bz2//'; tar
-C `echo $i|sed -e's/.tar.bz2//'` xjf $i ;done

something like that (I'm sure there are ways a lot easier but that's
what I usually do)

* will create a directory named like the tar.bz2 (in case it extracts
to ./ and not to some subdir)
* extract ever foo.tar.bz2 to ./foo/

haven't checked exactly but in general that should do id..

I want to extract lots of tar.bz2 files in one directory, and I want the
extracted files to be of the original names with out the tar.bz2 extension.

Is there a way to extract them all at once?

Thank you.
