There are many folders in my current directory. Each folder has a tar.gz file. To extract the tar.gz file I need to be inside each folder and run the following command every time.
tar xvzf tar.gz -C /path/to/targetdirectory
Inside my current directory it looks like below:
current directory
├──Folder1
├── A.tar.gz
├──Folder2
├── B.tar.gz
├──Folder3
├── C.tar.gz
├──Folder4
├── D.tar.gz
├──Folder5
├── E.tar.gz
To extract all at a time I tried like this
tar xvzf */*.tar.gz -C /path/to/targetdirectory
This gave me an error:
tar: Folder1/A.tar.gz: Not found in archive
tar: Folder2/B.tar.gz: Not found in archive
tar: Folder3/C.tar.gz: Not found in archive
tar: Folder4/D.tar.gz: Not found in archive
tar: Folder5/E.tar.gz: Not found in archive
