How to unblock multiple tori in your folder with filenames in terminal

Question

For example, I have 1000 tar files. (n0001.tar ~ n1000.tar) I want to unlock every file in every filename. (contents of n0001.tar in n0001 / folder)

How can I do this in one terminal command?

I agree this command is subject to change.

for F in alcatelS*.tar; do
    tar -xvf "$F" 
done

You can use the parameter extension to remove the extension from the filename:

for F in alcatelS*.tar; do
    dir=${F%.tar}
    ( mkdir "$dir" && cd "$dir" && tar -xvf ../"$F" )
done

cd

happens in a subshell (...)

so that the working directory doesn't change for the loop.
