HI all.
I used to know how to do this, but apparently I've forgotten :( I know I can use a for loop to process all the files in a directory, but I can't for the life of me remember how to do it. I have a bunch of archived files that I want to unarchive. I've tried for I in *rar:do 'unrar x $I.rar':done, but that doesn't work and I can't seem to find the right man page with the syntax. Any help?
for f in *rar; do unrar x $f; done
See 'man bash' then enter '/^\s*for/ and n (next) until you find the Minor problem: ^ omit the trailing / and hit enter instead.
explanation you want.
