I needed to compress/archive a folder, so I ran the following command:

gzip -v --rsyncable --fast -r myFolder/ -c > myFolderArchive.gz

...foolishly thinking this was going to do just what I thought it would: an archive of myFolderArchive and its files recursively. It even had a nice output:

./myFolder/file1 ... 80%
./myFolder/file2 ... 20%
...

Opening the archive later however, I only see a single file in it. A quick search led me to understand my mistake: GZip (or I guess, myself) has taken every file, compressed it, and concatenated them one by one into a single file, essentially. Losing all file/directory structure. In the meantime, I've rm -r'd the original folder. All I have now is myFolderArchive.gz. Would anyone see a way to take that archive, and potentially reconstruct the original set of files, from the myFolderArchive.gz file's content, now that it's all mixed into a single GZipped file? I do still have access to the original disk (for a limited time) and could potentially attempt to recover at least the original directory structure (filesystem is ext4). Technically, the content/data itself is in myFolderArchive.gz, it would "just" need to be sliced right...

I have a zipped file (using Winrar) and the size of it is more than 4GB from Windows 10. I've already dumped the file in Unix Server and I want to unzip the file but the error always shows: Code: unzip filename.zip unzip: cannot find or open filename.zip, filename.zip.zip or filename.zip.ZIP. Note that the zip file contains .csv files (more than 50 files) Kindly help me. Thanks

I have a .gtar file, I wanted to extract it, but it is not getting extracted. Below are the methods I have tried with its output. I supposed to be contained bunch of text files.

-shellsession
$ gtar -xf file.gtar
gtar: This does not look like a tar archive.
gtar: Skipping to next header.
gtar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors.

$ gtar -xzf file.gtar
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
gtar: Child returned status 1
gtar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

$ gunzip -c file.gtar | tar xvf -
gzip: file.gtar: not in gzip format
tar: This does not look like a tar archive
tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors

$ tar -xzf file.gtar 
gzip: stdin: not in gzip format
tar: Child returned status 1
tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now

$ file file.gtar 
file.gtar: HTML document, ASCII text, with very long lines, with no line terminators

Can anyone please suggest some method to extract it?

As in title. I've got a lot of ZIP archives that I want to extract. All archives have their own unique name. All archives contain **files only** (inside archives there are **NOT** folder(s) at all: no parent / main folder). I'd like to process all these ZIP archives via GNU parallel. To sum up: - archivename(s).zip has **NOT** folder(s) inside - extract content of archivename(s).zip into archivename(s)/ folder (this folder needs to be created!) - **keep** archivename(s).zip after extracting it - repeat this for all the ZIP archivename(s).zip I was wondering about what utility fits best ZIP extraction: gunzip? unzip? bsdtar? 7z? P. S.: *I'd like to take advantage of GNU parallel for speeding up the whole operation (I'm using SATA SSD devices)*.

I have a folder with 28 gz files with the extension .gz and 28 files with the extension .gz.bam. I would like to unzip all the 28 .gz files and send them to another folder. I was doing one by one as follows:

gunzip -c file1.gz > /mnt/s3/data_transfer/file1

How can I specify I want the .gz and not the .gz.bam?

I have a directory where there are multiple folders, each folder contains multiple .gz files with the same zipped file name "spark.log". How can I unzip all of them at once and rename them like the gz file? My data looks like this List of folders A B C D In every of them there are files as A spark.log.gz spark.log.1.gz spark.log.2.gz spark.log.3.gz B spark.log.gz spark.log.1.gz spark.log.2.gz spark.log.3.gz C spark.log.gz spark.log.1.gz spark.log.2.gz spark.log.3.gz D spark.log.gz spark.log.1.gz spark.log.2.gz spark.log.3.gz in each of the gz file contains spark.log, I'd like to be able to unzip and rename them according to their gz name. For example: spark.log.1.gz -> spark.log.1.log

I have a bash script that imports wordpress dbs for me pretty reliably, but one of my sites came from a former wordpress multisite, therefore the database includes DEFINERS within the database that prevents the following code from executing correctly

gunzip -c $destination_path_to_wordpress/folder/db-export.sql.gz | mysql -u $destination_db_user -p$destination_db_pass $destination_db_name

The above results in ERROR 1227 (42000) at line 3224: Access denied; you need (at least one of) the SUPER or SET_USER_ID privilege(s) for this operation If I manually export the db then run `sed 's/\sDEFINER=[^]*@[^]*//g' -i db-export.sql` and then attempt to import the db then I can successfully import the db, search-replace the user name, and site it live. **Question:** What is the correct syntax to to combine my current db import command and the sed command that gets rid of the definer problem? something like the following is what I would like to achieve: clearly incorrect, but you get the gist...

gunzip -c $destination_path_to_wordpress/folder/db-export.sql.gz | sed 's/\sDEFINER=[^]*@[^]*`//g' -i db-export.sql | mysql -u $destination_db_user -p$destination_db_pass $destination_db_name

any tips? thanks ```

I have the below script to unzip a .zip file and print out a .txt file of the files in the .zip but when I run the script, I get this output: "unzip: can't set permissions of directory 'folder' : Invalid argument" My script: ``` for file in *.zip do unzip -- "$file" [ -d "${file%%.zip}" ] cd "${file%%.zip}" echo -e "${file}\t$(echo $(gzip -cd ${file}|wc -l)/4|bc)" >> results.txt done

I'm using BusyBox 1.24.1 on my Embedded Linux machine (with kernel v3.10.31) and I get behavior I can't understand when unzipping files.  The gunzip command (often, but not always) fails, with no output (not even an error message), even when given a “known good” .gz file (i.e., one that I just created, using a gzip command, on the same system).  It's very hard to find a file that can actually be unzipped.  Does anyone get an "Eureka!" when looking at this? It seems like something in the text file make the gunzip command fail, but I can't figure out what.  See below: # ls -l -rw------- 1 root root 65 Sep 13 10:02 cantunzip -rw------- 1 root root 64 Sep 13 10:01 canunzip more cantunzip fsdgafjklsdfasdsdjfhjafasdohfkl asdfas a fsd a 2132313 12 51515 # more canunzip fsdgafjklsdfasdsdjfhjafasdohfkl asdfas a fsd a 2132313 12 51515 # hexdump cantunzip 0000000 7366 6764 6661 6b6a 736c 6664 7361 7364 0000010 6a64 6866 616a 6166 6473 686f 6b66 206c 0000020 7361 6664 7361 6120 6620 6473 6120 0a0a 0000030 3132 3233 3133 2033 3231 3520 3531 3531 0000040 000a 0000041 # hexdump canunzip 0000000 7366 6764 6661 6b6a 736c 6664 7361 7364 0000010 6a64 6866 616a 6166 6473 686f 6b66 206c 0000020 7361 6664 7361 6120 6620 6473 6120 320a 0000030 3331 3332 3331 3120 2032 3135 3135 0a35 0000040 # gzip canunzip # gzip cantunzip # ls -l -rw------- 1 root root 77 Sep 13 10:04 cantunzip.gz -rw------- 1 root root 77 Sep 13 10:03 canunzip.gz # gunzip canunzip.gz # echo $? 0 # gunzip cantunzip.gz # echo $? 1 # ls -l -rw------- 1 root root 77 Sep 13 10:04 cantunzip.gz -rw------- 1 root root 64 Sep 13 10:04 canunzip

This code was written to extract multiple .tar files to another location and woks fine

ls -1 ${short_filename} \
| while read file; do \
  tar -zxvf "$file" -C ${pentaho_temp_path}/${sessionkey}; \
done

I want to do the same for .gz files on a Linux machine. My files have no whitespace in their names and they look like this:

xport_RAN_Maa_LIM_10.93.217.170_20220629030929.xml.gz

I've been tasked with diagnosing an issue with a webpage, and I've been able to trace the issue back to a gzip'ed JavaScript file, jquery.min.js.gz. To view the code, I've downloaded and attempted to unzip the file on my Linux machine. I'm met with a not in gzip format error. The file jquery.min.js.gz command returns that the file is "data", and head jquery.min.js.gz returns the attached (StackExchange seems forbids posting some of what appear to be Korean characters). Examining the file in Vim, it contains the sort of binary data I'd expect from a gzip file. What's going on here?

With this command find . -name '*.zip' -exec unzip '{}' ';' we find all zip files under . (directory), then unzip them into the current working directory, **However,** the structure is gone. /backUp/pic1/1-1.zip /backUp/pic1/1-2.zip /backUp/pic2/2-1.zip /backUp/pic2/2-2.zip /backUp/pic3/3-1.zip /backUp/pic3/3-2.zip /backUp/pic3/3-3.zip Current command result: /new/1-1 /new/1-2 /new/2-1 /new/2-2 /new/3-1 /new/3-2 /new/3-3 desired result /new/pic1/1-1 /new/pic1/1-2 /new/pic2/2-1 /new/pic2/2-2 /new/pic3/3-1 /new/pic3/3-2 /new/pic3/3-3 Asked here, but the code doesn't work out https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/691527/what-should-dirname-and-basename-be-in-this-command

With this command, we can recursively unzip archives in a directory and its sub-directories and remain its structure in the current working directory.

find ../backUp/ -name "*.zip" | 
  xargs -P 5 -I fileName sh -c '
    unzip -o -d "$(dirname "fileName")/$(basename -s .zip "fileName")" "fileName"
  '

But when I run it, all the unzipped folders keep in the original directory. Can we hard-code basename and dirname in the bash environment? adding example: /backUp/pic1/1.zip /backUp/pic2/2.zip /backUp/pic3/3.zip Goal: /new/pic1/1-1.png /new/pic1/1-2.png /new/pic2/2-1.png /new/pic2/2-2.png /new/pic3/3-1.png

I want to trim the path of the gunzipped tarball so that some "spurious" leading directories are excluded. Let me explain with an example. I have the following directory structure, as outputted by the tree command: tree /tmp/gzip-expt /tmp/gzip-expt ├── gunzip-dir ├── gzip-dir └── repo └── src-tree ├── l1file.txt └── sub-dir └── l2file.txt 5 directories, 2 files I want to gzip up src-tree in gzip-dir so this is what I do: cd /tmp/gzip-expt/gzip-dir tar -czvf file.tar.gz /tmp/gzip-expt/repo/src-tree Subsequently I gunzip file.tar.gz in gunzip-dir so this is what I do: cd /tmp/gzip-expt/gunzip-dir tar -xzvf /tmp/gzip-expt/gzip-dir/file.tar.gz tree /tmp/gzip-expt/gunzip-dir shows the following output: /tmp/gzip-expt/gunzip-dir └── tmp └── gzip-expt └── repo └── src-tree ├── l1file.txt └── sub-dir └── l2file.txt However, I would like tree /tmp/gzip-expt/gunzip-dir to show the following output: /tmp/gzip-expt/gunzip-dir └── src-tree ├── l1file.txt └── sub-dir └── l2file.txt In other words, I don't want to see the "spurious" tmp/gzip-expt/repo part of the path.

In a directory with many subdirectories, I have some .gz archives. I want to recursively extract all these archives using gunzip. Hence, I use:

gunzip -r myDir

However, this command exits with "non-zero exit status 1" when there are some files in myDir that are not archives, with the errors being:

gunzip: myDir/dir1/file1.vcf.gz.tbi: unknown suffix -- ignored

Any idea how I can silence this particular error/warning?

I am trying to execute a simple pipeline which should gunzip a file and send the result to stdout. This is ten piped into a tar command which to my knowledge should append the file I specify. I use a hyphen to denote the stdin decompressed tarball which I am trying to append to. gunzip -c sandbox.tgz | tar rvf - hongkong.mp4 I receive the following response when I execute the command tar: Options '-Aru' are incompatible with '-f -'

I want to do gzip of folder, and also want to retain original timestamp for that folder. Can someone suggest any way around it. i tried below mentioned code. The timestamp which i am getting the time when zip happened.

tar -zcvf outputFileName folderToCompress

I have a file file.gz, when I try to unzip this file by using gunzip file.gz, it unzipped the file but only contains extracted and removes the file.gz file. How can I unzip by keeping both unzipped file and zipped file?

I wanted to compress a directory whit size of about 25 GB to .tar.xz format using following command: tar --xz --create --verbose --file myArchive.tar.xz /patch/to/my/dir but got these error lines: xz: (stdout): Write error: file too large tar: myArchive.tar.xz: wrote only 2048 of 10240 bytes tar: Child returned status 1 tar: Error is not recoverable: exiting now I tried it for .tar.gz format too and got approximately same error lines. I am using Fedora 32 and the destination file system is W95 FAT32(LBA). The file stopped writing at about 4.3 GB. What's strange is that my disk has more than 500GB free space. What is the problem and how can I fix it?
