Yes I tryed and got the some error. I think the token can be " rm -rf " as automator marked like a kind of wrong spelling but I can' t see what wrong with them as they work in terminal.

Try this, instead of:
Tell app "Terminal"

try:
do shell script "cd " & this_path & "find . -exec unzip -o {} \; & rm - rf __MACOSX;"


It gave me the 'unknown token' warning as well, which I'm not sure about. Anyone else have any ideas?

Hi everyone,

I like to unzip a bunch of ziped file but doesn' t work!

Basically I created a service using the " Run Applescript " action and typed this:


on run {input, parameters}

tell application "Finder"
set this_path to the quoted form of the POSIX path of (insertion location as alias)
end tell

tell application "Terminal"
activate
do script "cd " & this_path & find . -exec unzip -o {} \; & rm - rf __MACOSX;
end tell

return input
end run


error:  Expected end of line, etc. but found unknown token.

Any help would be very appreciated or if would be a simpler way to do this, very welcome.

Thanks in advance
gC
