Hi,

I just get a ZIP archive and want to unzip it.

I'm using unzip to unpack this archive.

But when I did first unzip command, I get more ZIP archives, which have again in it more ZIP archives.

Is there a command or application whic can unzip this ZIP archive and it's sub ZIP archives at once?

​Hey,

That doesn't sound like a common enough use case that someone would have written a program just for that purpose. But you could write a simple shell script (or whatever you prefer) to recursively unzip a bunch of zip files.​ Keep in mind not to unzip the same files forever of course.

If you're not familiar with shell scripting I can write one (with detailed comments). I need the practice. It'll have to wait until later today, however. -- vixsomnis
