Hi all,

Ive got a number of folders with part rar files ie r00, r01, r02 etc. Is there any kind of batch function available to unrar the files in each folder automatically?

Do you have .par or .par2 files too by any chance?

If so you could try dldone (google for info) as it repairs your rars and unpacks them all for you :)

EDIT: If its newsgroups your downloading from do a Google for SABNZB as this will do it all for you too.
 
Perhaps you could copy all the folders' contents into a single folder then open all the first parts simultaneously? It's a kludge but it would probably get the job done.
 
it's a split archive. Unrar the first one in the series, (ends in .rar usually) and the rest will follow. I usually prefer WinRAR, but rar.exe is pretty good. : rar x filename.rar in a cmd box should do the trick.

Autounpack.

Or run a search on *.r00, then highlight all of them and "Extract to..."


Just moved from DLdone to AutoUnpack

Fully automated repairs and extracts.

Thanks guys, will take a look at the suggestions.

BTW, no par files - does this matter for those programs? Doesnt matter for winrar.
 
Had a look at autounpack, good but not quite what Im after. Basically just want to queue up a load of unpack commands so I can specify like 20 folders with multiple r0x's and just click start, instead of having to click extract for each folder.
 
Ahh just set autounpack to look at my whole drive and its picked out all the folders - excellent. Seems to be doing what I wanted. Handy program :)
