How can I remove last entry from 3.7 GB zip file on linux server?

Question

I have been able to copy last entry/file to file.txt with SSH command :-
cat filename.zip | gunzip -c >file.txt
How can I remove last entry/file and keep repeating? Else, how can I extract all files?

Answer 1

It would help if you told us what Distro are you using.

I'm a bit rusty, but "cat filename.zip | gunzip -c >file.txt" just doesn't look right. Have you tried it without " >file.txt"? AND, try to extract the ZIP file to a folder on your desktop, without the pipe.

To get more info, in the command line, type: man gunzip (or SSH)

Answer 2

Why are you directing the output right into a record? To extract the data do basically gunzip filename.zip. That assumes the record is a gzip record. If the record has a .zip extension then it could have been compress using yet another application. if so try: unzip filename.zip
