Quirks of Unzipping on MAC

Some of the files were not able to be unzipped using either “unzip” command or “ditto” command via terminal

however, since they were getting opened perfectly using the “Archive Utility”, one option was to use the 

terminal to open such files. e.g. below 

open -a "Archive Utility" 0B9822F3-FE6C-4FB6-AB47-C98DA932279D_205155390.zip

The only inconvenience is that we cannot specify the destination folder. 

This can be automated using a simple shell script like this 

for file in *; do

echo $file

open -a "Archive Utility" $file

done
