Unzip a bunch of zips into their own directories

Question

I have a bunch of zip files I want to unzip in Linux into their own directory. For example:

a1.zip a2.zip b1.zip b2.zip

would be unzipped into:

a1 a2 b1 b2

respectively. Is there any easy way to do this?

Answer 1

Add quotes to handle spaces in filename.

for file in *.zip
do
  unzip -d "${file%.zip}" "$file"
done
