How to unzip files into the current directory?
Use the unzip -j
("junk paths") option, which will extract just the files without recreating the subdirectories.

I am trying to write a bash script that will automatically unzip mp3 downloads and move them into my
~/music
folder.My problem is that when I use the unzip command, it creates it's own folder within the downloads folder, when I would rather it to just list all the mp3 files in the
~/downloads
folder.My question is if there is a way to have the files listed in the
~/downloads
folder instead of creating its own folder within the downloads directory, OR if there is a way to automatically change directories to the resulting unzipped folder assuming I don't know the name of that folder?Sorry if that sounds confusing, but thanks for any help!
