I have a folder full to zip files. Using linux terminal, I need to find files with a certain string in the zip file name and unzip only them to another folder. I tried the following but no luck.
find /some_folder/ -name "*[temperature]*.zip" | parallel unzip '/some_folder/unzippedfiles/'
First, the pattern is not matching and second, I am not sure if the output could be redirected to another folder. Could someone suggest a fix please? Thanks a advance

Answer
/some_folder/
must be absolute path:
find /some_folder/ -name "*temperature*.zip" | parallel 'mkdir -p /some_folder/unzippedfiles/; cd /some_folder/unzippedfiles/ && unzip'
