How to untar all .tgz files in a folder and write to new files with different Naming convention
I have folder thay contains many .tgz files, each uncompressed file has SAME file name "000000_0".
Can someone write me a command to do below?
1. Untar all the .tgz files from a folder
2. rename each uncompressed file based on the .tgz file name
For example, 2017-07-01.tgz -> I want the uncompressed file to be renamed as "2017-07-01.dat"
Suppose I have list of .tgz file in a directory:
2017-07-01.tgz
2017-07-02.tgz
2017-07-03.tgz
2017-07-04.tgz
2017-07-05.tgz
Note: each .tgz file only have one file inside, "000000_0".

Using gnu parallel:
$ parallel 'tar -xf {} --to-stdout > {.}.dat' ::: *.tgz
For each .tgz file the file is uncompressed (-xf) and the content of the file streamed stdout (--to-stdout). So we can redirect (>) it to a file with a new filename, using the basename of the compressed file ({.}.dat)
Without gnu parallel:
for file in *.tgz; do
tar -xf $file --to-stdout > $(basename -s .tgz $file).dat;
done
If the basename version is to old, the -s parameter doesn't exist. Use $(basename $file .tgz) instead. This should work in current versions as well.
