I am writing a shell script that unzips a ZIP file into an existing hierarchy of files, potentially overwriting some of the files.
The problem is that the unzip command asks for confirmation:
replace jsp/extension/add-aspect.jsp? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: y
Is there an option to force unzip to overwrite the files?
According to http://www.manpagez.com/man/1/unzip/ you can use the -o option to overwrite files:
unzip -o /path/to/archive.zip
Note that -o, like most of unzip's options, has to go before the archive name.
If you need to unzip in order to replace the new files only, you can use
unzip -f archive.zip
But for future reference, you can just type
unzip
and you will get a list of the arguments for this package.
The possible arguments, for this case, are:
-f freshen existing files, create none
-n never overwrite existing files
-q quiet mode (-qq => quieter)
-o overwrite files WITHOUT prompting
Use the one that you feel is more suited for your needs.
Try using
unzip -o <filepath/zipfile.zip> -d <path where you want files>
-o is replace existing file, best is use unzip --help
