Hi all,
I have mistkanely gzipped twice an entire folder and sub folders, and also renamed the files during that process.
I am trying to undo this, and I need help to create the batch to work on it.
All folders are under my images directory, I have a output.txt file that holds all the names of the files, the process I need to do for each file is:
gunzip $i
rename the file from: XXX.pngzip to XXX.png.gz
gunzip $1 (2nd time)
This process works manually, but I aint gonna do it for 2500+ files (not even as a good learning lesson :-/
I am buffeled on my options, and can't really make my simple script work, I might not go the right direction, or just can't see the simple one.
I would like your advise.
Running the batch ofc will be run from the top folder, and all files will have to stay in the same place.
#!/bin/bash
for i in 'find -name *.pngzip.gz'
do
gunzip $i
#rename the file
gunzip $i
done
I don't mind using my output.txt file with all listed files as input, but I am trully lost.
thanks
