Unzip the same file multiple times command

Hello,

I have a folder which has files of the following format,

test.zip.zip.zip.zip.zip.zip.zip

There are like 110 files of the format.

Is there any command to unzip a file and then unzip the result from the previous step and unzip again until whole is unzipped to test.txt

Please advise.

You could search for all zip files in the directory, unzip the first one and move it away to some other directory. Then start from the beginning and run this loop as long as you find a .zip file.

Code:

while [ -n "`ls *.zip`" ]; do
    for i in *.zip; do
        unzip $i
        mv $i elsewhere/
    done

done
