Unzip Cannot Find Any Matches For Wildcard Specification Stage Components May 2026

strace -e openat unzip archive.zip "stage/*" 2>&1 | grep -i "zip"

If you want to extract everything inside a folder named stage within the zip file:

unzip project.zip 'stage/*'

If you are using * or ?, disable shell expansion by quoting:

unzip archive.zip "stage/*"

Or escape:

unzip archive.zip stage/\*

3.1. List zip contents without extracting:

unzip -l archive.zip | grep -i stage/components

3.2. Check exact stored paths:

unzip -Z archive.zip | grep -i stage

or

unzip -l archive.zip | head -20

3.3. Try a more inclusive pattern:

unzip -l archive.zip "stage/components/**/*"

(Note: ** recursive matching requires -x or modern unzip; not all versions support it.)
