Unzip Cannot Find Any Matches For Wildcard Specification Stage Components -
If you are using * or ?, disable shell expansion by quoting:
unzip archive.zip "stage/*"
Or escape:
unzip archive.zip stage/\*
If the error persists despite correct quoting, trace system calls: If you are using * or
If you are piping from cat or curl, write to a temporary file:
curl -s http://example.com/archive.zip -o temp.zip
unzip temp.zip "stage/*"
rm temp.zip
If you use wildcards, you must ensure the shell does not expand them prematurely. Or escape: unzip archive
Incorrect:
unzip archive.zip stage/*
If there's a file named stage.txt in the current directory, the shell expands stage/* to stage.txt before unzip runs. Then unzip looks for a file named stage.txt inside the archive – which fails, often with a different error. But under certain conditions, the expansion can result in arguments that unzip interprets as a wildcard specification, leading to the error. If the error persists despite correct quoting, trace
Correct (to extract all contents under stage/ inside the zip):
unzip archive.zip 'stage/*'
or
unzip archive.zip stage/\*
