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

    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

            One-line joke

            A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
