Multiple .rar? Mon Jun 18, 2012 3:26 am • by Svingen
Hi

First of all, im really new to Hazel but it seems like a very handy piece of software.

I have manage to get Hazel to search in subfolder and i have even gotten it to unrar
files as soon as they appear. Now to my problem.

How do i handle files that looks like this:

*.part01.rar
*.part02.rar
*.part03.rar
etc

When i unrar i use a script that looks like this:
unrar e -o+ "$1"

Any suggestions?

Had a idea that i could rename all of the files starting with *.part02.rar to *.part02.002
but i have no idea how to do that.

Now to my second small problem. When i use the unrar e -o+ "$1" string for some reason it places the unrared file a folder above where the rar file is, any idea on how to fix that?

Thanks in advance

Hazel's unarchive action handles multipart rars. Is it not working for you?

Yeah, it works wonderfully EXCEPT unarchive removes the archive-files. I rather have them saved and use another rules to erase them when x days old.

If you could tell me how to get unarchive to save the files that would be really really nice.

If you want to keep the original archives, you need to copy the archives elsewhere and then open them and, depending on what you want, move the result back.
