Umm... if youre talking about multi-part rar archives, unrar picks up the rest of the chain of parts if you only give it the first one (at least for my unrar 3.71b does it). find will actully execute unrar for every part the archive has (if it has 10 parts, it will extract the whole thing 10 times) :) ... or I am missing the bigger picture here.
A little correction to my previous response ... i forgot the "x" command for unrar... so it should be: unrar x abcd.part1.rar Regards, Tareq Ahmed Siraj ________________________________ From: tanjir <[email protected]> To: Ubuntu Bangladesh <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, December 16, 2008 11:59:10 PM Subject: Re: [Ubuntu-BD] How to unrar and combine multiple RAR files on Ubuntu Yah, it would be simpler if you had only ONE rar file. There is a way to divide a single file into few smaller rar files. Hafiz asked question about those files. I believe you have seen those if you have downloaded big files (eg: movies) from sites like megaupload or rapidshare. ----- tanjir visit http://www.tanjir.net --- On Tue, 12/16/08, Tareq Siraj <[email protected]> wrote: From: Tareq Siraj <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Ubuntu-BD] How to unrar and combine multiple RAR files on Ubuntu To: "Ubuntu Bangladesh" <[email protected]> Received: Tuesday, December 16, 2008, 11:45 PM wouldn't "unrar abcd-part1.rar" be simpler? or any specific reason he should use find? just curious :).

What should I use on Ubuntu / Linux Mint for this? -- Hafiz Imtiaz 0306005 EEE,BUET PH: 01915698207 www.hafizimtiaz.co.nr -- Ubuntu Bangladesh mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bd __________________________________________________________________ Yahoo!
