I have created 200 zip files for work, but I realized I forgot to add the .txt to each of them. Instead of spending hours redoing this work I'd appreciate any help.



Is there a way anyone knows using bash that will unzip, add the .txt file and rezip all 200 files? The name of the .txt file will not change just the .zip files.



Thank you.






bash ssh batch

    Imho this is about a default Ubuntu tool and thus on-topic.

You don't even need to unzip the files, you can update an existing file:



zip -u existing.zip file.txt


from zip manual:



update (-u)
 Update existing entries if newer on the file system and add new files. 
 If the archive does not exist issue warning then create a new archive.


If you want to add a complete folder, add -r.



To update a number of zip files, do something like this:



for z in *.zip; do
 zip -u "$z" file.txt
done

This Kransekake is a traditional Scandinavian baker's confection. Confectionery is the art of making confections , which are food items that are rich in sugar and carbohydrates. Exact definitions are difficult. [1] In general, though, confectionery is divided into two broad and somewhat overlapping categories, bakers' confections and sugar confections. [2] Bakers' confectionery, also called flour confections , includes principally sweet pastries, cakes, and similar baked goods. Sugar confectionery includes candies ( sweets in British English), candied nuts, chocolates, chewing gum, bubble gum, pastillage, and other confections that are made primarily of sugar.
