I have a zip file: foo.zip.
The zip file extracts to:
- foo/
- hello.txt
- world.txt
What command do I issue to extract the files hello.txt and world.txt to the current directory rather than to the subdirectory foo. I could use the cp command but I want to do this all in one go.
unzip -j foo.zip
-j = junk paths. The archive's directory structure is not recreated; all files are deposited in the extraction directory
Try:
$ unzip -j foo.zip
The -j option:
-j junk paths. The archive's directory structure is not recreated; all files are deposited in the extraction directory (by default, the current one).
