Just: gunzip *.gz If that throws a too many files error then you should use a find command: find . -depth 1 -name "*.gz" -print | xargs gunzip This finds all files in the current directory (.) but no deeper than the current directory (-depth 1) that match "*.gz" and execs gunzip on each one. It is slower than a single shell glob. Much slower. It has to open and stat the directories and then exec gunzip for every file. On the other hand, it works even when you have so many files that you can't use a shell glob. --Rich P.
