Hi all! How do I get rar to store all the sub-dir? I use: rar a WHB.rar *.* which gets only the files in the dir that I'm in. I also want the subs too.

If you do *.* then it only gets the files with an extension. Try rar a WHB.rar * The single asterisk should get everything, except the files that start with a dot (if you want those too, do "shopt -s dotglob" before running the rar command) Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Try using the option -r and, unless you have directories with a '.' in the name and only want to add those, try using: rar a -r WHB.rar * Regards, David Bolt -- Team Acorn: http://www.distributed.net/ OGR-NG @ ~100Mnodes RC5-72 @ ~1Mkeys/s openSUSE 10.3 32b | openSUSE 11.0 32b | | openSUSE 10.3 64b | openSUSE 11.0 64b | openSUSE 11.1 64b | RISC OS 3.6 | RISC OS 3.11 | openSUSE 11.1 PPC | TOS 4.02 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I don't think that's what -r is for. -r is when you're looking for specific files in all subdirectories. e.g. rar a -r text.rar \*.txt will get all *.txt files from the current directory as well as all subdirectories. If all you want is to add absolutely everything from CWD as well as all subdirectories, then the simple "a" is all you need Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

When I tested it, it didn't touch the contents of a directory, which was why I mentioned the -r. Another test just now shows that it does work recursively. However, that was because I used "*.*" as the wildcard, not just a plain "*" .
