The version of gzip and gunzip that I use supports recursion...<br />
<br />
in the parent directory I can type <br />
<br />
gzip -r *<br />
<br />
and all file in the parent directory and its subdirectories are zipped, conversely<br />
<br />
gunzip -r *<br />
<br />
will unzip them all.

The following command will do that:<br />
<br />
for %a in (&quot;Y:\our\directory\*.gz&quot;) do gunzip %a<br />
<br />
If you want to use this in a batch script, replace the &quot;%a&quot; with &quot;%%a&quot;.<br />

</div>


The following command will do that:

for %a in ("Y:\our\directory\*.gz") do gunzip %a

If you want to use this in a batch script, replace the "%a" with "%%a".

If gunzip.exe is not in the path, you'll have to specify the full path of the exe:<br />
for %a in (&quot;Y:\our\directory\*.gz&quot;) do &quot;T:\he\install\directory\g<wbr />unzip.exe %a<br />
And just to be sure: you did replace the path to the directory with your path (&quot;Y:\our\directory\*.gz&quot;)?<wbr /><br />
