i want to know how to unzip a archive file by replacing the same folder with file name..

help me or not! :slight_smile:

2

it would be great if you post some of the file names...!!!

Try this : -

$uncompress <filename>

if the above command doesn't work then post the file names.

3

XXX.tar.gz is the archive folder name.. want to replace this folder by extracting the data inside it and replacing at the same time.

4

I think files are in gzip format, try using the foloowing command : -
$gunzip <file_name>

5

it says command not found!
