while [ "`find . -type f -name '*.?ar' | wc -l`" -gt 0 ]; do                                                                 1 ↵
  find . -type f -name "*.?ar"                    \
      -exec mkdir -p '{}.dir' \;                  \
      -exec echo "unzipping "{}" to "{}".dir" \;  \
      -exec unzip -o -d '{}.dir'  -- '{}' \;      \
      -exec rm -- '{}' \;;
done

Hi, this seems very useful!, but when I tried it didn't work, isn't it missing a . in the find command being run inside the while?

yes you are right, I fixed it !
