Thanks for the script. This is great for looping over large collections.

So, what do you suggest if zip -FF still doesn't file the problem:

[dave@bend cng258]# zip -FF recovered_tysonorc.zip –out rebuilt.tysonorc.zip
Fix archive (-FF) – salvage what can
Found end record (EOCDR) – says expect single disk archive
Scanning for entries…
copying: tyson&orc.jpg (48494 bytes)
Central Directory found…
EOCDR found ( 1 48596)…
[dave@bend cng258]# unzip rebuilt.tysonorc.zip
Archive: rebuilt.tysonorc.zip
[rebuilt.tysonorc.zip] tyson&orc.jpg password:
replace tyson&orc.jpg? [y]es, [n]o, [A]ll, [N]one, [r]ename: y
inflating: tyson&orc.jpg
error: invalid compressed data to inflate

Cheers,
Dave
