Unzip multiple zip files at once *.zip in Linux

Date: 2011-05-03 00:00:00 -0400

If you want to list on the screen a lot of files at once in Linux, you just run:

  cat *.txt

That will list all files with txt extension in your screen, but if you enter this command:

  unzip *.zip

You will have this error:

Archive:  CoolWater11.zip
caution: filename not matched:  total-anabolism.zip

In my case I had two files CoolWater11.zip and total-anabolism.zip.

But if you enter this command:

  unzip '*.zip'

It will work.
