Unzip multiple files from command line

I suggest to use 7Zip, it’s open source, manage quite all compression standard, and it has a great command line support.

From command is:

7z.exe e *.zip

7z.exe is the command,

e stands for extrat

*.zip stands for “all zip files”

If you need to force overwrite all files, add -aoa at end of command.

A sample output extracting two zip files:

C:\test>7z.exe e *.zip
