I'd say do a cat filename.rar.0* >> file.rar then unrar -e file.rar from the command line, I don't know of a way to deal with such things via *de/mc/whatever gui. On Tue, Aug 10, 2010 at 4:13 PM, Bob Rea <gapetard@stsams.org> wrote:

The cat (i.e., "concatenate") command can join the files. Like: touch newfile cat file1 >> newfile cat file2 >> newfile Whether you need to do this or will it work for your purposes, depends entirely on the data and how it is to be used.

On second thought, I would imagine that you would need to unrar the contents first. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Try: rar x filename.rar.001 with luck, it will join and decompress the file for you. This worked for me using packman 'rar' package.

Err.. dunno of the cat advice will work. I've never tried it. In KDE I just click on the first rar file and use Ark to decompress it.. or right click and pick Extract Archive Here. Ark sorts out the multipart on it's own. Command line unrar will also sort out the multipart.. just point it at the first rar file.. either filename.rar or filename.001 or filename.rar.001 etc. and use the regular unrar commands as if it was a single rar file you wanted to uncompress.

I agree, this should work. Re using "cat": Next time I'll engage brain before hitting keystrokes. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
Hi Bob et al,

I do this all the time and its very simple. First check and make sure you have the rar and unrar program installed. Now go into the dir where the rar files are, make this command: unrar x filename.rar.001 It will take care of everything from there. Its simple, Hope this helps, JIM -- The US was colonized by the religious, political, economic, and criminal rejects of every country in the world.
