Unzipping files <password protected>

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Hie Friends,
I need your help once again.
I have 77 �password protected� winzip files in linux/unix server. I want to decrypt it through an automated script. Password of every file is same and it is mhd*tt.
Please help me.
Usually I unzip it as follows, manually one by one.
unzip <file name>
Then it asks for password.

Please help me in automating it.
Thank you
Anushree

mhd*tt

$ for file in `ls *.zip` ; do unzip $file < password.file ; done

This should work.

unzip -P password filename

InfoZIP's unzip has the -P parameter:

Check with the man page of your unzip to see if it offers a similar capability.

If not, you have this funzip which seems to have -password option.

funzip [-password] [input[.zip|.gz]]

Hi The Greek,
funzip option worked.
Thank you all very much for your help.
