Batch unzip

[LRC]

I have a lot of zip files I need unzipping that have spaces in their name.

for z in *.zip; do unzip “$z”; done

Does fine except it unzips into the main folder. That is not good as it confuses things and I have multiple files with the same name. Is there a command that will create a new folder with the same name as the zip file?
I do know that ark can do that with the -ba commands BUt I do not know how to get around the problem of spaces in names.

ls -1 *.zip | while read zipname; do mkdir "${zipname%.zip}" ; { cd "${zipname%.zip}" && unzip ./../"${zipname}" ) } ; done

Tried and got:

bash: syntax error near unexpected token `)'

As I am a total noobie to code and get lost very fast in any manual reading, I have no clue what is missing.
PS: Must say though that I love linux because it is far superior in many ways to Windows and saves a bundle on hardware. Once I do figure out what to do I do use console for a lot of things.

unzip -e *.zip

use the -d flag to tell unzip to make a directory. make the directory name based off the zip filename, e.g.:

#!/bin/bash
for zip in *.zip; do
  dir=$(basename $zip .zip)
  unzip -d $dir $zip
done
